Local Studies Broadsides Collection

1642-2013
Archives
Broadsides were originally single sheets of paper, printed on one side only, designed to be read unfolded and posted up in public places. At first they were used for the printing of royal proclamations, acts, news, and official notices. Later they became a vehicle for political agitation, such as ballads and speeches.
Some broadsides in the library collections have been given a broadside reference number (eg. F1825/15) but, instead of being in the sequence of loose broadsides in the cabinets, they are located in a volume (eg. BR F 942.7389 SC13). The Dewey number of the volume is noted in the catalogue and also on cardboard markers in the cabinets. All of the volumes are listed below:
