ENGLAND: THE OTHER WITHIN

Pitt Rivers Museum Publications 1884-2008

Alison Petch, Researcher 'The Other Within' project and Mark Dickerson, Balfour Librarian

Alison Petch's introduction: When I started working on the Occasional Papers on Technology webpage I realised that there did not appear to be an easily available list of all the books etc published by the Pitt Rivers Museum. Here is the list I have compiled with Mark Dickerson, please note that it omits small single sheet 'publications', such as information sheets. Many thanks to Mark Dickerson, Balfour Librarian, who suggested the methodology for compiling this list, checked it for me and found many of the more obscure publications. The Balfour Library contains copies of all these publications which can be consulted (in person) by any bona fide scholar. See here.

All of these papers are published by the Museum, University of Oxford.
