Opis

British Archives is the most comprehensive guide to archive resources in the UK. Since publication of the first edition more than ten years ago, it has established itself as an indispensable source for essential information about access archives and archive repositories in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Over 1,200 entries provide detailed information on the nature and extent of the collection as well as the organization holding it.

Recenzje

'Highly recommended for all libraries and archives with general reference collections.' - Choice

'It would be difficult not to be impressed with the fourth edition of 'British Archives'. It is a measure of the success of the editors that each edition of 'British Archives' comes closer and closer to the comprehensiveness whcih they modestly disclaim.' - Raymond Refaussé, Journal of the Society of Archivists
