Records from the University of Bradford's Special Collections have now been
added to Copac. This is in addition to the records already on Copac for
Bradford's Russian and Eastern European Studies (REES) holdings.
Special Collections at the University of Bradford holds over 100 collections
of archives and rare books, reflecting the University's strengths in social
sciences and applied sciences and the history and culture of Bradford and
its Yorkshire environment. Rich in rare modern volumes, the book collections
cover archaeology, religion, literature, politics, industrial history and,
above all, peace studies, one of the University's best known departments.
There are several Special Collections relating to Balkans and former
Yugoslavia, which complement the important holdings in the main library
concerning East Europe. Named collections include the Mitrinoviæ Library,
the J B Priestley and Jaquetta Hawkins Collections, and the Commonweal
Collection.
These collections have been added as part of the Copac Challenge Fund, an
initiative jointly funded by RLUK, the RIN, and the British Library.
Further information can be found on the RLUK website
