. [This on-going but largely complete database is expected to be transferred to the maintenance of University College London but still is accessible at Robin Alston's own website. Alston began the project in 1991; he intends that a larger, printed presentation of the evidence will appear in the future (see his "Introduction"). Alston's Library History database contains an introduction, lists of libraries by county in the British Isles (sub-divided into England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Islands); there follow attention files: Index, Types of Library, Societies, Sources, Statistics, Country House Libraries, Private Collections, Elizabethan Society of Antiquaries, and Summary Statistics. Some files are acknowledged to be fairly incomplete, as that for Country House Libraries. The main sections provide in total a listing of "over 27,000 libraries in the British Isles before 1851." The short entries begin with those for Bedfordshire, with Daniel Gibeme's Circulating Library in Ampthill, and Alston notes his source for the information is the Northampton Mercury of 27 December 1773. Besides newspapers, common sources are personal correspondence and the 1851 Census.]
