Rural Crafts & Trades Today An assessment of preservation and presentation

in museums and archives

Part Three : A Rural Crafts & Trades Bibliography

This section forms Appendix Eight of the main project report, but is bound separately here as a Part Three for convenience of reference and handling. Similarly, Appendix Three : The Directory, is separately bound as a Part Two. This Bibliography has been prepared under the terms of the Project Brief, i.e. an England-wide survey, which therefore (with a few exceptions) specifically excludes Welsh and Scottish detailed studies. The format adopted here conforms with the core baseline upon with this study has been developed viz. Jenkins, J. Geraint. 1965. Traditional Country Craftsmen, Routledge & Kegan Paul (revised 1978). The selection of crafts and trades for inclusion here follows the listings used in that study, which has also been followed by the Questionnaire & Survey used for the consultation with museums in order to gather collections information. The collections held at the Museum of English Rural Life at Reading include not only objects and archives but ‘the country’s leading library for the history of agriculture and rural life’ where much of the material listed below may be consulted. For access etc, see www.merl.org.uk. The Bibliography was compiled in November/December 2007.
