Editor's Notes
- National library UK Legal deposit print and as of 6 April 2013 also for non print material British Museum Library 1753 – 1973 1973 – BL officially national library UK, still based at the British Museum November 1997 – present based at St. Pancras on Euston Road and 1961 – present site at Boston Spa, previously an ammunitions factory. The building at St. Pancras is the largest public building built in the UK in the 20th Century, taking 30 years from planning to opening.
- ASB – Additional Storage Building (Building 31) – capacity 7 million items. Storage area low oxygen, robot operated, holding 140 K ‘toats’ boxes the size of shelves, bar coded. All items are barcoded; items belong in certain toats, toats can go anywhere. 500-600 movements per day.
- Pictured is the Kings Library – holding the Library of King George III and the Library of Grenville MP, which contains Gysbert Japicx’ Friesche Rymlery of 1668, stamped ‘Grenville’. UKWebArchive BIPC
- George III and George IV, the latter negotiated the donation of his father’s library to the nation, on condition that it would be kept as one collection, on display and for all to use.
- Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (1571-1631), antiquarian, bibliophile, and Member of Parliament. His collection included the ‘Beowulf’ Thomas Grenville (1755–1846), politician, book collector and Trustee of the British Museum Sir Joseph Banks (24 February [O.S. 13 February] 1743 – 19 June 1820) botanist, patron of the sciences. Sir Hans Sloane 16 Apr 1660 - 11 Jan 1753; physician, naturalist and collector. Bequeathed his collection to the British nation, thus providing the foundation of the British Museum.
- We receive a copy of every publication produced in the UK and Ireland The collection includes well over 150 million items, in most known languages ; 14 million books ; 250,000 journals, 60 million patents, 4.5 million maps and atlases, 8 million stamps, etc. 3 million new items are added every year We have manuscripts, maps, newspapers, magazines, prints and drawings, musical scores, and patents The Sound Archive keeps sound recordings from 19th-century cylinders to CD, DVD and MD recordings Spread over the two sites there are 800 km of shelf space.
- Klencke Atlas – gift A’dam merchants to Charles II at his Restoration in 1660. Leader Klencke. For centuries largest book in our collections, 2012 superseded by Philips atlas. Read more here https://www.bl.uk/picturing-places/articles/the-klencke-atlas
- Sound Archive – thousands sound recordings – music, spoken word, wild life, etc. All sorts of formats- wax cylinders to digital S.O. S. Save Our Sounds transferring analogue formats to digital. Free Exhibition
- ANTONIO PANIZZI buste near Humanities 1 on the first floor, was the keeper of books responsible for collection policy that aimed to build the best collection of books in every European language outside the countries of origin. BL’s USP 400 languages worldwide ; ALL REGIONS – ‘Empire’ is another big influence. European languages include all major Western and Eastern languages and around 40 minority languages (such as Frisian)
- Non scientific visualisation of my quick and dirty research on budgets. If Dutch is 100%, German and Russian 4 x Dutch ; French 1.2 x ; Polish same ; Baltic 10% of Dutch ; Spanish 1.5 x ; Italian 30% Dutch. Portuguese 50% that of Dutch ; Frisian, Flemish and Afrikaans 5 % (?) of Dutch. ‘Dutch’ acquisitions about 500 titles per year, with two exceptions of 1000 in 2011 and 2017. Over last 10 years a growth of 4,500 titles. Not sure about the rate of acquisitions in 19th C – requires further research.
- How do we select what we buy, or accept in donation? It has to be published in NL / Belgium, or Friesland Humanities topics, some soc sciences Academic level or reflecting culture. No self-publishing Preferably English language editions, unless good reason to buy Dutch/Frisian (literature) No translations, with some exceptions Considerable discretion curator.
- GERMANIC STUDIES German speaking countries Scandinavian speaking countries and Iceland Dutch speaking countries Collection guides highlight special collections – Frisian to follow after this conference
- TOPICS: HMNTS : Poetry, drama, theology and politics (an enormous collection of pamphlets) are very well represented History of Golden Age and Second World War.
- First ed of Het Achterhuis, with original, rare dust jacket and some newspaper cuttings pasted in. Buste of Anne Frank by Doreen Kern, a gift by Mr and Mrs. Sherrington on the occasion of Anne’s 70th birthday.
