Ian J. Kerr. Engines of Change. The Railroads That Made India. (Westport, CT: Praeger Publishers, 2007. 210 pp. ISBN 0-275-98564-4.

Engines of Change provides a readable, compact, up-to-date history of India's railroads, 1850-2001. The book places the railroads within their evolving historical contexts in an attempt to show how the railroads shaped the making of modern India, and also were affected by other forces involved in that same making, most notably colonialism and nationalism.

ULRLS archival database - a new resource for labour history researchers

The University of London Research Library Services (ULRLS), which comprises Senate House Library and the libraries of the School of Advanced Study, has spent the past 18 months developing an electronic catalogue for ULRLS archives and manuscripts. Our new ADLIB database complements the descriptions of printed books, periodicals and other publications on the libraries' Innopac catalogue and makes descriptions of more than 2,000 unique collections searchable online in one place for the first time.

From: Paulo Fontes [mailto]mailto:pfontes@mandic.com.br[/mailto]

Dear colleagues:

Please have a look below. It would be very important to have articles from Continental Europe and Asia (we already have good proposals from the US, UK, Latin America and South Africa). Do you have any suggestions? Please circulate it as much as possible and do consider to write something.

Best,
Paulo
