English Short Title Catalogue

The English Short Title Catalogue is a union catalogue recording holdings in more than 2000 libraries world-wide, including the British Library, established in 1977. Its aim is to create a machine-readable bibliography of books, serials, pamphlets and other ephemeral material printed in English-speaking countries from 1473 to 1800, based on the collections of over 2000 institutions world-wide.

British Library material recorded in ESTC cannot be ordered for loan or photocopy.
