Summary
The death of Peter Brown and the start of the present writer's incumbency of the Librarianship might seem an appropriate point to end this narrative. The final years of the twentieth century, however, saw such dramatic changes in universities and their libraries that to conclude in 1983 seems premature. This final section must inevitably be less analytical than previous chapters, but it seeks to chronicle as objectively as possible the main development of the Library up to the formal opening of the Ussher Library in 2003.
During these two decades the Library was served by three Librarians: Peter Fox from 1984 until 1994, when he was appointed Librarian of the University of Cambridge; Bill Simpson, who had been the Librarian of the University of London and was at Trinity from 1994 until 2002, when he moved to Manchester as University Librarian and Director of the John Rylands Library; and Robin Adams, who had been the College's Deputy Librarian since 1991 and was appointed Librarian in 2002.
