The Douglas Hooke Box Files
The Douglas Hooke box files are a collection of over 200 boxes of ephemera held in the Lord Coutanche Library at the Société Jersiaise. These items were indexed and classified by volunteer Douglas Hooke and many others. It was decided to place this information on the website with a view to providing more information not available in the library catalogue. This is a diverse collection containing many different types of material, including manuscripts, newspaper cuttings and documents, which probably numbers over 20,000 different items. The material relates to family history and Privateering to name but a few subjects. It is hoped this will work as a supplementary catalogue until such time as actual cataloguing can be done. Any feedback as to how this service could be improved would be welcome.
The indexes list the material available in each box file and are divided into different categories according to subject matter. Each index is provided in the Microsoft Word document format for ease of reference, which can be viewed using either Word Viewer 2003 or OpenOffice if you do not have access to Microsoft Word.
