| Barton Library
Non-Fiction
Books
This
collection includes approximately 950 books on the late fifteenth century:
biographies, chronicles, social, cultural, political and military history,
literature, drama and poetry. The range covers standard reference books,
transcriptions of primary source material, general illustrated histories
and children's books.
The catalogue is divided into eleven sections, according to subject.
Within each section the items are arranged alphabetically by author,
except in the biographical section where they are under the names of
the people being written about and then alphabetically by author.
Each entry
gives the author, title, whether the book is hardback or paperback, date of publication, ISBN and publisher. Each entry also includes a list of keywords and synopsis of the subjects covered.
The
Library is provided for the benefit of all members of the Society.
Items may be collected personally (please make an appointment before
calling) or sent by post to members anywhere in the UK. We regret that
because of the risk of loss or delay in the post, overseas members may
borrow papers but not books. Overseas members are recommended
to use the catalogue as a reading list and check the library facilities of their local Society branch or public library. One or two old and/or rare books can only be borrowed if they can be collected and returned in person.
Up to two books may be borrowed at one time. Please send your requests to borrow books to the Non-Fiction
