British and Commonwealth Literary Studies
The Temperance Collection
Location: Green Library, Special Collections.
Content: This collection combines the archives of reformer William
Hoyle and the Joseph Livesy Library, consisting of three elements: 1400
separately published pamphlets and tracts, 320 books (including a section
on contemporary biography), and newspapers, journals and conference reports.
The main strength of the collection lies in the wealth of mid-Victorian
controversial and ephemeral material.
Access: BOOKS are cataloged individually - an alphabetically
ordered author/title
list is available for searching. A fuller record
for each book can be found using author/title search (e.g. baker{au}
and curse of britain{ti}) in Socrates.
PAMPHLETS, and JOURNALS AND PERIODICALS are cataloged together as a
collection under the overall call number 71-03051. To get details to
page these items, consult the on-line
catalog and use the overall call
number along with the number from the catalog for any specific item.
Research Access and Use: Materials in the Department of Special
Collections are non-circulating and must be used in the Special Collections'
Reading Room in the Cecil H. Green Library. The Reading Room is open
10:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. Photocopies, photographs, and
microfilm can be made of some materials in the collections. For more
