Information

THE BIBLIGRAPHICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE

The Bibliographical Society Library, for many years housed at Stationers’ Hall in the City of London, moved in January 2007 to Senate House of the University of London. Since July 2017 it has had a new home, The Albert Sloman Library at the University of Essex, where the collection is available in open-access shelving. Full details of contacts and opening hours at The Albert Sloman Library can be found at http://libwww.essex.ac.uk/.

The Bibliographical Society Archive is deposited in the Bodleian Library. It may be used by scholars and by Members of the Society. All researchers wishing to use the Archive must have a valid Bodleian reader's ticket, but Members of the Society who are not otherwise eligible should bring to Bodleian Admissions their current signed Society's Programme Card together with proof of identification. The archive covers every aspect of the Society's activities from its foundation in 1892 to 2008. Comprising the records of a private society without a permanent office and run by honorary officers, the coverage is patchy and at times haphazard, and researchers will find unexpected gaps and equally unexpected inclusions. Further details are available at the Society's website (http://www.bibsoc.org.uk/content/library-and-archives) and a finding-list is on the Bodleian website: http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/modern/bib-soc/bib-soc.html

THE LIBRARY, VIRTUAL ISSUE

The Editors announce the annual ‘Virtual Issue’, which now accompanies the journal's four print issues every December. This virtual issue will comprise a retrospective gathering of key articles in a particular field that have appeared in the pages of The Library since the journal's first appearance. These will be chosen by a guest editor, who will also supply an editorial reflecting on the field, its history, and its prospects, here and beyond. This virtual issue is available, free of charge to any interested reader, on The Library's page on OUP's website (http://library.oxfordjournals.org). The articles will remain freely available for three months, but the editorial permanently.

THE ‘TRANSACTIONS’ AND ‘THE LIBRARY’

The Society has published a journal since 1893, originally entitled the Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. In 1920 it took over the publication of The Library (which had appeared since 1889) and adopted that as the main title of the Transactions.

The different series of the Transactions and The Library are as follows:

Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. Vols 1–15 (1893–1919).

The Library. Vols 1-10 (1889-1898).

The Library. Second/New series. Vols 1–10 (1900–1910).

The Library. Third series. Vols 1–10 (1910–1919).

The Library. Fourth series. Vols 1–26 (1920–1946).

The Library. Fifth series. Vols 1–33 (1946–1978).

The Library. Sixth series. Vols 1–21 (1979–1999).

The Library. Seventh series. Vols 1– (2000– )

The last three years of The Library are always available. Members’ orders for these should be sent to the Hon. Secretary, enclosing an appropriate remittance: single parts, £5.00 each, volumes £19.00 (postage included). Some earlier back issues of Transactions and The Library may also be obtainable by members, who should enquire of the Hon. Secretary as to availability and price.
