The Stone Library at Sheffield Hallam University is a physical resource open to students and the general public. It will showcase stone and related geomaterials used in past and current construction. These will include natural building stones and derived products including lime finishes.
Each material has a QR code which links to this catalogue, which is the online version of the physical library.
This contains images of the samples held and links to other resources.
Stone and related geomaterials are durable, recyclable, and have low energy input to production. They form a key part of our nation’s heritage and a solution for a lower-carbon future.
