Stephen Gladstone Hall Project 2019-2021
De-accessioning list:
After a very successful six months in 2019 where we offered volumes from classmarks B, F, and U for free re-homing to other collections and members of the public, we are currently processing subsequent classmarks in Stephen Gladstone Hall; should titles become available for re-homing, we will advertise them here. If you are interested, please send an email to [email protected], detailing the areas in which you are interested. Please note that as a registered charity we prioritise any individual or organisation who will keep the titles publicly accessible.
We are also reviewing our holdings of the The Journal of Medical Ethics and the The International Journal for the History of Engineering and Technology (please note that we are only considering disposing of duplicate copies). If you are interested in any copies that we hold, please email the address given above.
