The project team are now looking for a volunteer or volunteers who can work with the catalogues in the Rare Books Room of the British Library in London, UK and incorporate into our resource, books published before 1754. Full training will be given if needed. We are entirely flexible as far as volunteering hours are concerned, as long as volunteers can contribute an average of 1-2 hours per week on average for a minimum of six months.

This provides researchers and general readers all over the world the opportunity to read books in French about India.
