There are three libraries that have a requirement for printed material, the B.L. being one.
I suspect they have them stored in various warehouses and places around London. Certainly I know for certain that Sheffield Archives uses storage places around the city for example. In many instances you have to give them advanced notice if you want to see something. Often an hour or more. So I should imagine the B.L. do the same.
