Last week John posted a list of “legacy” manuscript catalogues now available via Manchester eScholar. It reminded me that many catalogues published in the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library are also available in the same way. These catalogues are neither complete nor current, but they do provide information about the collections which was not previously available online.
