I am writing an overview of rare books and historical bibliography in
the British Isles 2001-2005, which includes references to collections
made available by cataloguing within that time.
Please could you let me know ([log in to unmask]) if you have
undertaken retrospective cataloguing projects (either retrocat from
cards, etc., or cataloguing from the book in hand) in your library
between January 2001 and December 2005 (including ongoing projects),
with an idea of the quantity of books involved and the name / nature of
the collections? I am interested ONLY in projects involving early
printed books, i.e. until 1850, and only in projects in Britain.
I already know about the CURL projects RSLP, Revelation and Britain in
Print.
Many thanks,
Karen Attar
