Pamphlets on the South African War

One of the joys of managing a large collection is the opportunity for new discoveries, to come across items I haven't before noticed. Yesterday I was showing the collection to the new History Librarian at Senate House Library, and spotted five volumes entitled Pamphlets on the South African War, held at DT 930 SOU in the Institute of Commonwealth Studies collection

The bound volumes appear to have been collated by a previous librarian and added to the collection (at least in bound format) in 1954. No other information on the origin of the collection is available. The volumes collate a number of pamphlets and articles on the South African War of 1899-1902 from British, European and North American sources, providing a rich source for contemporary thought. Within Senate House Library are also held a large selection of pamphlets on the South African War from the John Burns Collection
