The Home of RGS Scholarship
Welcome to the Unchained Library, the modern home of RGS Scholarship.
The Royal Grammar School Guildford is the custodian of the most splendid chained library featuring unique works of scholarship, including two early editions of Newton’s Principa. As stunning a scholarly repository as it is, it is only appreciated in person.
This Unchained Library is our way of exhibiting unique works of scholarship written by our students, alumni and staff to a much wider audience.
Scholarship is one of our core values; it is what our institution prides itself upon above all else, and I hope you get a flavour of that in digesting the materials contained herein.
