Subjects

Although most subjects are represented, the collection is particularly rich in books on social and industrial history including parish registers and the histories of individual towns; religion, technology, art and architecture, and literature.  

Tip: A large portion of this collection consists of pamphlets or ephemera, which are located in cardboard pamphlet boxes interfiled with the books, in the approximate but not exact area of their allocated shelfmark. Items held in these boxes are flagged with a ’P’ before the shelfmark, on Library Search.
