| The Library
has excellent holdings of modern British books and periodicals
on history and society. These extend in subject matter far beyond
the recent history of the British Isles but the emphasis within
these webpages is on British-related topics from the first decades
of the twentieth century to today.
In addition, the Modern British Collections contain many
publications which are themselves the subject of historical
research, from legislative documents and political pamphlets
to recipe books and popular magazines: each, in their own
way, evidence of the particular time in which they were created.
These are entered individually in the British Library Integrated
Catalogue and additional guidance is given below.
