Cultural collections description
The British Library is custodian of the most important research collection in the world, spanning almost 3,000 years and from every continent. They have an extensive online catalogue of their books, sound recordings and paper holdings already online. This page therefore just pulls out some of the more interesting holdings from their vast catalogue of material.
In particular, Mike Phillips recently curated two online exhibitions: Black Europeans and Caribbean Views. We link to them here.
