Library Access to Pendragon
The
Copyright Libraries of Great Britain:
The holdings of
the six legal deposit libraries in the United Kingdom and in
Ireland make up the National Published Archive of the British
Isles. These are:

Under the
Copyright Act, it is obligatory for publishers in the United
Kingdom and Ireland to deposit their publications with the
copyright libraries, where they are made available to users in
their reading rooms, and preserved for the benefit of future
generations, they become part of the national heritage
The Society is
required to submit copies of each issue of
Pendragon to
the first five libraries above. In practice, we have found that
copies are not easily accessed at the Bodleian Library at Oxford
where they may be mislaid. It would be unwise to travel to any
of these libraries before checking that copies of the journals
are available and access can be gained to them. In such
collections it is sometimes necessary to order beforehand,
sometimes a reader’s ticket may be required.
