Printed Catalogues

Descriptions of the Shakespeare-related collections have been compiled and published on the Internet as part of the Touchstone projectfunded by the British Library Co-operation and Partnership Programme (BLCPP)to identify and map significant UK Shakespeare collections.

The catalogues of printed books, acquired before September 2001, arranged by author and subject, are currently in card format available for consultation only at the Shakespeare Centre Library. The Library& Archive's catalogue of its printed book holdings to 1988 was published in microform as Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon: The Libraries of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust Part 7: Shakespeare Centre Library Catalogue (Haslemere: Emmett Publishing, 1989)

Lists and indexes of specialised parts of the collections are held in the Library & Archive's Reading Room.
