Description

This collection reproduces the pre-1850 monographic and pre-1906 serials holdings of the Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature at the University of London and the Kress Library of Business and Economics at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in Boston. These have been completed by material from the Seligman Collection at the Butler Library at Columbia University and the Sterling Library at Yale University.

The microfilm collection follows the same classification scheme employed by the catalog of the Goldsmiths' Library. The topical arrangement includes sections for the colonies, slavery, politics, socialism, usury, demographic patterns and so on. Altogether there are over forty subject areas.

The guide is arranged in chronological order with subdivisions within each yearly section corresponding to the Goldsmiths'Library categories.

There are approximately sixty serial titles included in the microfilm collection. This collection is a major resource for the study of economic, political and social history. It includes material printed in foreign languages, so that it may prove useful for the comparative study of these areas as well.
