The Library


The Society Library (also known as the Black Scrolls of Rassilon) is kept in a random and increasing number of small boxes. It began life as a (reasonably extensive) collection of Target novelisations of televised Doctor Who stories, which were immensely popular in the era before VHS and DVD releases. Freed of the constraints of a BBC budget and special effects limitations, some of them are even regarded by characters as a better interpretation of the stories than the televised versions.


More recently, the library has been given a considerable number of original novels and short stories from the the "Wilderness Years", as well as some tie-in novels of the recent series. There are also non-fiction titles and a couple of audio adventures and DVDs.


A full catalogue of the society holdings is found below, sorted by Doctor and alphabetically, and a version can be downloaded as a spreadsheet with filters here.


Any member of the society is free to borrow any of the books below, either when it makes an appearance at a meeting, or to request one from the Keeper of the Scrolls, should the book in question be available. Loans are typically for a term, but can be renewed by contacting the Keeper. If you would like to borrow a book, please email the society or ask a member of the committee to put you in touch.
