Dear colleagues
For a few years, a number of archive and library institutions in the
Catholic Church in the UK and Europe have been co-operating to bring
together union catalogues for their archive and library holdings.
Last year, we launched (very quietly!) the Catholic Heritage website,
initially to test and ensure that we could cope with the technology and
the system would work.
We are now pleased to announce that there have been a number of updates
to the contents of http://archive.catholic-heritage.net, and the
following catalogue information is available from the contributing
archives. In total, we have catalogues from seven archives spread across
four European countries, amounting to 35,378 catalogue entries, and over
350 collections:
England, London
Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales: 1107 catalogue
entries
Society of Jesus, British Province: 293 catalogue entries
Westminster Diocesan Archives: 9156 catalogue entries
Italy, Rome
Pontifical Scots College: 112 catalogue entries
Scotland, Edinburgh
Scottish Catholic Archives: 19341 catalogue entries
Spain, Salamanca
Royal Scots College: 421 catalogue entries
Spain, Valladolid
Royal English College: 4948 catalogue entries
Details of the collections included can be downloaded from 'What's
available' page on www.catholic-heritage.net
It is anticipated that more catalogue entries will be loaded in the
coming months, once various processing tasks have been completed.
Please let us know if you find this resource useful; please forward
details to anyone who might be interested, and enjoy searching!
Sincerely
