Abstract
THE second annual report of the Brotherton Collection Committee refers to the considerable interest in the Brotherton Collection which is available for the use of the University of Leeds staff, students, research scholars and the public. The numerous exhibitions which have been arranged, including technical exhibitions for the Process Block-makers' Society, Printers' Guild, the Technical Institute, and the Society of Chemical Industry, have attracted some 2,300 visitors. Detail work such as lighting and heating adjustments, painting and additional fittings, which was incomplete at the opening of the Library in October 1936, was completed by the end of the Easter vacation. Good progress was made with the catalogue and cross-reference index. The income of the Library is limited to about £1,250 per annum and the accounts show a balance in hand of £96 8s. Particulars of gifts and additions during the year and of the regulations governing access to the Collection are included.
