Non-Fiction Papers

This section of the library comprises about 2,500 booklets, essays and articles from journals covering the same topics and range of levels as the book collection.

Please send your requests for non-fiction papers and information to the Non-Fiction Papers Librarian Joanna Iddison at JoannaRIII@hotmail.com.

The Non-Fiction Papers catalogue is divided into seventeen sections, according to subject. These are available to view by clicking on the arrow (>) next to Non-Fiction Papers on the sidebar menu.

Each entry gives:

• the title
• the author
• details of the journal or book from which the item was taken or just the date of publication in the case of pamphlets
• synopsis of the subjects covered

To save space the titles of some of the most frequently quoted journals have been abbreviated as follows:

BIHR – Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research

BJRL – Bulletin of John Rylands Library
