Trove Tuesday - British Library

When I studied librarianship in the dark ages (1960s) The British Library as we now know it did not exist. Britain we studied the library of the British Museum.

In 1972 when The British Library Act was passed by Parliament, the collection of  the British Museum. formed part of the collection of the new library.

As I have forgotten what I learnt about the British Museum collection I turned to Trove.
