A SURVEY OF LIBRARY RESOURCES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR THE TEACHING OF AMERICAN HISTORY AND LITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSITIES Available to Purchase

This report has been part of the work of the Survey of Sources for American Studies in the United Kingdom, a research group which was established in October 1956 by the British Association for American Studies aided by a generous grant from the United States Information Service. The Survey decided that it could attempt two things of potential use to teachers of American History and American Literature in this country: firstly, to compile a Guide to manuscripts relating to America in Great Britain and Ireland; and, secondly (the matter of this report), to find out how adequate are the resources of libraries in the United Kingdom to support the teaching of American history and also of American literature in the universities.
