Introduction This list has been compiled from information supplied by libraries, museums and other organisations throughout the county. Inevitably the information will soon become out of date, and it is vital that all organisations concerned inform the compiler quickly of any changes in holdings. Similarly, if important holdings have been omitted, please inform the compiler (details below). NOTES: Where whole years are given it can be assumed that holdings are complete (i.e. January – December). Titles marked * indicate an entry in the Title Histories section. SEE refers to the preferred name for a particular title. SEE ALSO refers to other names by which a title is/has been known. Refer to the Title Histories section for further information.
