A research library for all things related to Belarus, a country in Eastern Europe. It also features a small museum dedicated to the history and culture of Belarus. Centuries-old manuscripts and other artefacts can be seen during tours, which can be arranged via email or social media.
Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum in north London, England, is the only library outside Belarus to collect exclusively in the field of Belarusian studies. It was formally established as an independent institution in 1971 and is owned by a charitable trust. The library — alongside the Belarusian Catholic Mission in England, Anglo-Belarusian Society and the Journal of Belarusian Studies — had a significant role in encouraging Belarusian studies in the United Kingdom and outside Belarus in second half of the 20th century.
