This book is a comprehensive guide to the vast collection of primary source materials on British history, science, social sciences, literature, and the arts that were microfilmed in the United Kingdom during World War II as part of the American Council of Learned Societies' British Manuscripts Project.

The project resulted in over five million pages of priceless manuscripts and printed materials being copied on microfilm, a testament to the foresight of those involved in the undertaking. This detailed checklist, organized by the depository and collection name and number, serves as a key to the contents of the microfilms and includes a comprehensive index of personal and geographic names, enabling scholars to quickly locate specific items of interest within this remarkable collection.
