The Library of Contemporary Culture Records, as it was originally called, was established in Cambridge in 1970 by John Holloway (then Reader, since 1972, Professor of Modern English) and his wife Joan, (at that time Librarian of the English Faculty Library). In 1981 the collection was transferred to the University of East Anglia and renamed the Holloway Collection. No further accessions were accepted after 2000.
