A high proportion of the work of the Library's Digital Imaging Unit is the completion of reader's orders for digital images. In most cases these orders might be for one-off photographs of a particular item or perhaps a few pages from a book. These photographs are retained for potential future orders but unless the entire original item has been digitised, the images are stored in a miscellaneous grouping entitled "Gallimaufry." The sheer variety of the images held in this group give a fantastic overview of the breadth of material held within the University Library.
