Directory of Museums and Special Collections in the UK [PDF ebook] 

Compiled with the assistance of the Museums Association, this important directory incorporates over 2, 100 museums — almost double the number of inclusions in the 1st edition. It covers all types, including collections of artefacts. The index contains over 3, 000 subjects. It is designed particularly to uncover those holdings that are more unusual and less well-known. The directory covers all subjects except living organisms. An indispensable reference source for the library and an ideal companion for researcher or enthusiast alike.
