The cathedral library has a strong collection of printed books relating to Canterbury and Kent. Also, it holds a portfolio of prints collected by John Bargrave in the 17th century.
For further reading, see Ann Hart, Engravings of Kent (London, 1989).
This catalogue was prepared by Cressida Annesley in Jan 2000 with the assistance of Mrs Margaret Sparks, cathedral historian. Further work, on sections 1 and 6, was carried out during 2000 by Miss P Dagwell, volunteer.
