- 49 collections described in
the web guide
19th Century Pamphlets
The purpose of
the proposed project is to provide enhanced access to the collections of
nineteenth-century pamphlets housed in the CURL libraries, and to raise awareness of the
breadth and scope of this valuable research resource. The realisation of the
project’s vision will unlock significant and rare primary resources, many of which
have hitherto been untapped, for the benefit of UK researchers from a wide range of
disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. It will do this through the
development of a web-based guide which will map strengths at collection level, and
the completion of a targeted programme of retrospective conversion of 177,000 items, which
will underpin the delivery of enhanced, co-ordinated, networked catalogue access, based on
the national COPAC service and freely available to all researchers in UK HEIs.
