Published by Tempus Publishing Ltd. 1st 1999. Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

A comprehensive guide for the local historian. Researching the twentieth century can be problematic with the sheer volume of sources available. No other century has produced such a mass of paperwork, yet, paradoxically modern records are prone to destruction, as a result of our throwaway culture if not physical decay. The author gives a guided tour through the maze of available sources - from local government bodies to national archives - providing an invaluable tool for the local historian or local history group. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and illustrations. 160 pages including index. ISBN: 0752414267. Minor foxspots to top edge of text block. Contents clean. Blue dustwrapper is lightly scuffed and has a tiny puncture hole to front edge of spine.
