Most of the books and other printed materialclassified as Special Collections are catalogued in detailon the University of Nottingham's Library catalogue, NUsearch. General descriptions of the scope of each Special Collection are also given on the Manuscripts Online Catalogue .

The following is a list of special collections which include material relating to health and hospitals, with the codes that can be used in an advanced search for 'collection' in NUsearch. In each case, there is a link to the catalogue entry on Manuscripts and Special Collections' online catalogue, which gives more details about the scope of the collection, and guidance on how to browse and search for items in the particular collection: Please note that some collections have had extensive additional cataloguing undertaken through externally funded projects, and that in these cases the original typescript lists have now been very considerably enhanced. In all cases it is advisable to consult the upgraded versions in the Manuscripts Online Catalogue .

By selecting the drop-down arrow next to 'Advanced and index searches', you will be able to use the 'People Search' search form and access individual name authority terms - for example, the name authority for Florence Nightingale (enter 'Nightingale' in the surname field and 'Florence' in the forename field). From this, you will be able to link directly to a description of every document from, to or about Miss Nightingale. This also works for corporate names (names of businesses or organisations) such as 'Nottingham General Hospital'.Searches can also be narrowed down by date. Type your required search term into 'AnyText', and also type the exact year, or a range of years, into the 'Date' field. You can even combine this with a 'Document Reference' search to target the search still further.
