Collections
The collections of the
Congregational Library are divided into Printed
Books and
Manuscripts/Archives. The latter
are further divided into three separate categories:
- The main body of manuscripts
collected
by the Library.
- The Archives of
the
Congregational Union of
England and
Wales/Congregational Church in England and Wales.
- The Archives
of the
Congregational Memorial Hall
Trust.
Some details have been added of
manuscripts and
archives with a special interest for Women’s Studies. These
are
divided into:
- Manuscripts
relating
to well-known figures(women
with entries in the Dictionary of National Biography
or Dictionary
of American
Biography, or related to someone with an entry therein).
- Manuscripts relating to
lesser-known figures(anonymous
or hitherto neglected).
- Archives of
the Congregational Union relating
to the history of women within the denomination.
