INVENTORY OF CIRCULATING LIBRARY LABELS

This webpage aims to build a large collection of images of circulating library and booksellers' labels for future publication in book form.

Contibutions of scanned images and information are now requested.

You can write by email, attaching an image file (MUST be 300dpi TIFF).   Send email

Given below are low resolution images. Click on an image to open it on a new webpage, but still at low resolution. Corresponding images at higher resolution are not linked here, but are held on file.

The colour-coding is intended to show whether currently-held images are in sufficiently good state to be reproduced:
Green: Good or usable after digital editing (but better impressions always appreciated).
Yellow: Possibly OK but scans from better examples would be preferred.
Red: Poor example. Better image needed.

Images are shown here at low resolution, but held on file at 300dpi.

All these images are copyright and must not be copied from this site.

These pages are not linked to the main webpages of the Society.
PLEASE DO NOT publish online the URL for these web pages. This is Work in Progress, so indexing by webcrawlers must be strictly avoided.
