Acknowledgements

Book Owners Online has been made possible by grants from the Bibliographical Society, the Marc Fitch Fund, and the Lyell Fund at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, to whom we are very grateful. An anonymous donation funded the editorial post dedicated to Scottish entries.

Countless librarians and custodians over many years have helped in the putting together of the information in BOO, by providing access to their collections, and they have all played a part in making this resource possible.

Philip Oldfield's agreement that we might use images from his indispensable Armorials Database has been extremely helpful. We are also grateful to the following libraries for agreeing to allow images from their books to be used on BOO, without charge:
