The Library is host to the Archive, integrating it into the routine framework of library activities while retaining its own identity, and receiving financial support from non-library resources, in latter years mainly from the Mandelbaum Trust.
Running expenses are supplemented from donations of Friends of the Archive and occasional "one off" donations.
Currently it functions within the framework of the Rare Book Library
In May 2005, Professor Alan Crown appointed a third Archive director, Professor Alan Crown's successor in the Department, A/Professor Suzanne Rutland, whose students have been users of the Archive for many years.
