Not a matter of burning professional interest, I'm afraid - I am just passing on a message from my Library colleagues. As part of its acquisitions policy, the Library here aims to buy a copy of every UK-published history of a school, university or other educational institution. Colleagues are finding it difficult to keep on top of this task, particularly with relation to locally or privately published histories (especially in view of the number of local studies done as part of millennium-related projects). This is really a plea for help. If you know of any histories which might have slipped through the net, we would be very grateful to have them brought to our attention. You can either e-mail me off-list and I'll pass the information on, or add me to any mailing lists you have for advertising local record office/society publications. The same goes for any other local education-related publications. The Library's acquisitions policy is to buy at least one copy of every book related in any way to the field of education which is published in the UK - it is what makes the collection a unique and valuable research resource. Thanks for your help and best wishes, Jenny. ---------------------- Jennifer Haynes Archivist Institute of Education 20, Bedford Way London WC1H 0AL Tel: (+44) 171 612 6063 Fax: (+44) 171 612 6093 E-mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
