Through a visual narrative, this handbook to the 10 libraries and repositories in Leeds with art and design resources  is indexed by over 80 subjects.  Are you doing research on architectural history?  The visual index at the back of the book will tell you which 8 institutions have material and whether that material is in book, archives, or audio visual format.  Want to know who has primary material on fashion?  This guide will point the way with a city map.
