It was hard to decide which news items to squeeze into a 2-page newsletter for Trinity Term. If there is one thing historian librarians are not short of is news about history resources!

In the end I decided to opt for a piece on the donation of Nazi books by Mr McCarthy, the timing of VE Day still being a sorrowful reminder of the Holocaust.

I also included a summary of the many ejournal content newly purchased in the last few weeks (how did that all happen?) and some events and interesting items on archival collections which are now available at the Weston Library.

As ever, there is a reminder to researchers to ACT ON ACCEPTANCE if any articles have been accepted for publication. It’s important!

Enjoy!
