English Short Title Catalog - ESTC from the British Library
The English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) began as the 'Eighteenth Century Short Title Catalogue', with a conference jointly sponsored by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and the British Library, held in London in June 1976. The aim of the original project was to create a machine-readable union catalogue of books, pamphlets and other ephemeral material printed in English-speaking countries from 1701 to 1800.
The English Short Title Catalogue lists over 460,000 items
- published between 1473 and 1800
- mainly, but not exclusively, in English
- published mainly in the British Isles and North America
- from the collections of the British Library and over 2,000 other libraries
