Yorkshire Country House Partnership Libraries Project
The University Library and six houses in the Partnership (Brodsworth Hall, Burton Constable, Castle Howard, Harewood House, Lotherton Hall, and Temple Newsam) collaborated in a project to review and create a brief catalogue of their library collections.
The project was funded by MLA Yorkshire from December 2002 to May 2006 and has opened up these country house libraries to both the general public and academic researchers.
The catalogue will enable future research by anyone interested in the history of these country houses, the lives of their owners, or the history of the book.
