Dr James Willoughby
I am an Editor for the British Academy project, Corpus of British Medieval Library Catalogues, published by the British Library, a project to gather and interpret every catalogue, booklist, or other documentary evidence attesting the holdings of the institutional libraries of medieval Britain, and provide a cumulative index of authors and works so as to make that information accessible. I am also Director of a record-digitization project, Medieval Libraries of Great Britain, the aim of which is to produce a new, digital edition of the standard repertory that lists surviving books by their medieval institutional provenance. This work is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation of New York.
I am a General Editor for the series British Writers of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period: Editions, Translations, and Studies, an imprint of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto. And I am the co-Editor of The Library: Transactions of the Bibliographical Society.
