Serie 010/5 - Bishop Broughton Memorial Library catalogue

The rare book collection in the Moore College Library, called the Bishop Broughton Memorial Library, was listed in a published catalogue, of which volume 1 appeared in 1973.The catalogue was compiled by the Rev.

A sub-series includes correspondence and reports relating to the inclusion in the Australia’s Book Heritage Project of the Broughton Library Catalogue, from 1993-1995.

A second sub-series includes bibliographic notes and printed material relating to the Bray Collection, which forms part of the Bishop Broughton Memorial Library.
