The Kenneth Ritchie Wimbledon Library has an outstanding collection of more than 15,000 tennis books, annuals, periodicals, programmes, newspaper cuttings and other items originating from 90 different countries.

The library welcomes researchers year-round and is open by appointment to anyone investigating any aspect of tennis.

To make an appointment to view the library collections please email research@aeltc.com.  The library is named in memory of Lord Ritchie of Dundee (1902–1975), who was for years Chairman of the London Stock Exchange and a long-serving member of the Club Committee. It was founded in 1976 by Alan Little (1928–2017), who ran the library in his capacity of Honorary Librarian, until 2016.
