Dear Listees,
As a librarian, I ought to know or be able to find out the answer to this
question, but I've drawn a blank (or perhaps I'm being lazy!).
Does there exist a list of all the local history journals published in Great
Britain (other than the more general journal lists such as Willing's and
BUCOP)? I want to ensure that we scan (or have someone scan for us) all of
them for medical and health references.
Thanks
Jeannette
