ENG 4355 - Romantic Prose (Hargrave), Archival Project Helps

Help discovering the Armstrong Browning Library's resources for your archival project.

Limiting Baylor Libraries "Online Catalog" to ABL Resources

Hopefully you are very familiar with searching Baylor Libraries "Online Catalog." As always you should default to using the "Advanced Search" option.

You will need to begin by limiting your search to the ABL's resources. Select "Library Catalog." Then once the "Search Profile" drop down menu appears, select "Armstrong Browning Library." From there, search as you normally would.

 

Hints for Quickly Identifying Historical Resources

Since you are interested in Romantic (and maybe a little bit Victorian) resources you may wish to use the date limiters which are part of the search categories at the top of the page. Or you could do what I do. After entering your search terms and selecting "Search," scroll down to "Refine your results" and change "Sort by"  from "Relevance" to "Date-oldest."

 

Requesting Resources from the "Online Catalog"

If you are interested in consulting resources that you found in Baylor Libraries Online Catalog, please contact the ABL (email abl_office@Baylor.edu) with Author, Title,  Publisher, Year, and "Available at ..." information. Examples are provided below:

Thomas Mathias' The Imperial Epistle from Kien Long, .... London: T. Becket, 1798. ABL Rare X821.6 M431p 1798

William Young's The English in China. London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1840. ABL Brownings' Library X BL 951 Y78e
