Library Collection
The Library houses a collection of monographs, journals, periodicals, and pamphlets focused on Barbadian history and heritage. This collection, catalogued according to the Dewey Decimal Classification System with Library of Congress Subject Headings, is great for scholars and history buffs.
The Dewey Decimal system is one of the world's most widely used library classification system to arrange books via subject. Each book is issued a shelf mark number, usually found on the spine of the book, and arranged in numerical order.
Developed and maintained by the U.S. Library of Congress, the Library of Congress Subject Headings is a controlled vocabulary used for indexing, cataloguing, and searching for bibliographic records in library catalogues and electronic databases.
