British Library Manuscripts Catalogue

http://molcat.bl.uk/

The British Library on-line manuscripts catalogue has been created in order to provide a single point of access to the mainstream catalogues of the Department of Manuscripts. The catalogue covers material accessioned from 1753 to the present day. Not all the catalogues have, currently, been made available. There is a list of collections on the site indicating which are available online. It is possible to search the indexes, descriptions or by manuscript number. Index searches can be carried out on the following fields: name, additional name, descriptive adjunct, index entry, language, state, start year and end year. Description searches enable keyword searching of the descriptions. Online search tips are available.
