Note

Many of these items are large format (up to 380 x 530 mm) books. With the exception of the index pages (where included), the entries contained therein are written across the double page spread leading to large images. Thus it is necessary to reach a compromise between legibility for on-screen viewing and image size for download speed. Where legibility has been compromised, a larger image is available for viewing in a separate window.

The coloured (col) images should only be viewed over a broadband connection.
