> what ever happened to the Colliery Guardian Company ?
>Does it still exist ? if not, what happened to it?
Phil,
According to my informaton - courtesy of the National Library of Wales OPAC
- the Colliery Guardian became part of Coal International in 1994 and that
would appear to still be in print. See below -
> TITLE : Coal international, incorporating Colliery Guardian
> PUBLISHED : FMJ International, 1994-
> NOTES : Continues: Colliery guardian
> NOTES : Six times per year
> BRN : 905471
> LOCATION : YTN 1 C7 (4to)
There are some useful tools out there on the Internet which provide us with
this sort of bibliographic information - I knew that the Colliery Guardian
was still in circulation in 1981 and it took only a new seconds to login to
NLW Aberystwyth and confirm its current status.
A good starting point for bibliographic searches is the NISS site at URL -
http://www.niss.ac.uk/reference/
The ultimate bibliographic search engine is at the British Library site -
http://www.bl.uk/
But they close down after about 23:00 hrs and on Sundays and bank holidays,
to update the catalogue (or rewind the rubber band) so NLW Aberystwyth is a
useful fall back - as one of the copyright libraries.
http://www.llgc.org.uk/ - then go to 'Dept. of Printed Books' for telnet
access to the catalogue.
Peter
