Catalogues, Indexes and Lists

In addition to the main catalogues of the Library’s collections of printed books, pamphlets and archives, we maintain a comprehensive index to articles of Cornish interest printed in periodicals: these are listed under author, title and subject. There is, in addition, a variety of other subject indexes compiled by individual researchers and donated to the Library.
