LIBRARY





The Society's library is available for use and the borrowing of books during meetings.The majority of the books and journals in the Society's library are shown below.
This list was last compiled in the summer of 2001.


Librarian: Position vacant
Many thanks to our previous two librarians David Rome and Anne Gilligan.

  
 
The Current Library holds quite a selection of Books, Pamphlets and Journals.  Although we have some old books, such as Jabez Hogg, The Microscope dated 1882, many others have been lost over time: This ‘Hogg’ was donated as a replacement in the 1940’s, although we do not now have any copies of his other books. As with our original copy of Jabez Hogg, many of our other books were destroyed during WWII bombing, the War Damage Fund helped us to re-build the library up again, but that's a story for for next time.  

Also in the collection are Catalogues from various suppliers of equipment; the oldest are 1920-1930’s Watson Microscope and Accessories. We would like to hold copies of older Catalogues and Instruction Manuals, as Members love, collect, restore and rescue older machines and accessories.

The Society would have celebrated its 140th Anniversary this year, but we’ve had no meetings in person but only by Zoom. The Library is locked away ‘for the duration’ but we would still like Donations, and any suggestions of Brand new books ... the Society is always happy to consider buying books thought to be suitable for use of the members.
