NNAH Library

The NNAH Library formed one of the largest consolidated arts in health resources in the UK. When housed at the NNAH office, it contained information about individual artists, grant-making directories, arts in health publications, project reports, research and evaluation reports, conference reports, articles and specialist press, arts and health industry journals and booklets, journals from other national membership organisations, transcripts of speeches, videos, cassettes, and many other important resources. It is now part of the Special Collections held at the library of Goldsmiths, University of London.

This is a small selection of resources from the NNAH Bibliography of Arts in Health Resources.
