About the collection

The collector

Charles Hilliard Feinstein (18 March 1932 – 27 November 2004) was a noted South African and British economic historian. He made important contributions to growth accounting and the measurement of standards of living. Among his many academic appointments he was Professor of Economic and Social History at University of York.

Acquisition

The collection was donated to the University Library in 2006 after his widow expressed her wish to have the books housed by the University in order to make use of the collection as an invaluable research tool for students.
