About our lists and indexes

Our listings are very much work in progress which have been imported into the database from a variety of sources and require much editing. We are always pleased to learn of errors and will do our best to rectify them when resources permit. Some of these listings are to collections that are only partly sorted, remotely stored or require special viewing facilities. We therefore strongly advise that you contact us before travelling long distances to consult material.
