> >The Guildhall Library is well worth a mention in your list, as far as I know >the ONLY major source of old Annual Reports of the UK listed companies Martin, The Stock Exchange material in the Guildhall Library (prospectuses, reports etc.) are an extremely useful resource for any study of the commercial aspects of mining - see 'A brief guide to primary sources' in the forthcoming NAMHO handbook for these and other resources. The listing at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/~pfclaugh/mhinf/location.htm focuses on the location of published sources - statistical resources, primarily official publications, and periodicals, like the Mining Journal. All the library holdings listed, unless stated otherwise, should be available to the public although advanced notice might be required. University and other libraries, like that at the IMM are, on the whole, open to serious researchers. However, any researcher would be well advised to make enquiries before making a special journey to a library public or otherwise.
