Description (What the record is about)
-
The Willoughby library, formerly housed at Wollaton Hall, was built up over many centuries, enriched by the intellectual interests and scientific pursuits of members of the family. One early 18th century fragmentary MS catalogue remains (see Mi I 17/1.
The library's full extent can be estimated from the sales catalogue compiled when the bulk of the collection was sold at auction in 1925. (See Catalogue of valuable books selected from the Library at Wollaton Hall, the property of Lord Middleton, which will be sold by auction by Messrs. Christie, Manson and Woods (London, 1925).)
A small selection remains with the family archive, including a number of items relating directly to the history of the family.
