The British Library Guide to the Catalogues and Indexes of the Department of Manuscripts (The British Library Studies in the History of the Book Series)

Revised to coincide with the opening of the reading room in the new British Library building, this is a reference for anyone beginning research in the Department of Manuscripts. It lists the catalogues and other aids of the Department, including published and unpublished and those only available in situ. In addition, information is provided in this edition for those whose work involves consulting charters and rolls, seal, papyri and ostraca.
