  abstract = {‘The Library Association’s very own history man’ — that is how the Library Association Record described Peter Hoare in connection with a visit he undertook in 1989 to talk about library history to the Association’s Northern Ireland Branch. This is one of many examples of the service Peter has given to the cause of library history in terms of directly promoting the subject. He has also promoted it indirectly, by bringing people together, by founding and shaping the institutions that have sustained the subject, and by setting an example of high scholarship through his own research and writing (a select bibliography is presented at the end of this introduction). For decades, Peter has been the linchpin of library history in the UK.},
