Emperor's Library PDFs
The full list of PDF titles acquired from the Emperor's Library is being compiled and catalogued and will be posted shortly. Please bear with us as a lot of work is involved in cataloguing thousands of new items, especially as we rely on volunteers to do this.To properly catalogue an entry, we need to open the file and examine it to discover the author, topic, publisher,etc.
To allow immediate access, while we carry out the detailed work, we have listed below the titles available. Until the titles listed below appear in our catalogue, you can order them from our Librarian by quoting the name and volume and then the title number. The title as listed will also help. So you could be referring to ‘Great War Vol 5 Title 34.History of the Pennsylvania hospital unit (Base hospital no. 10, USA) in the Great War’.
Copying and pasting from this list will help the librarian locate the item and enable him to email a copy to you. If you require more than one copy or you have a slow internet connection, we are prepared to burn the documents requested onto a CD/DVD and mail it to you.
Each Volume contains approx 100 works and they are listed in alphabetical order. Some of the collections contain maps, images, photos, drawings, media files, etc that are not reflected in the numbered lists.
Please advise your membership number when ordering as we are unable to supply PDF copies to non-members.
