The Montagu Butler Library is one of the world’s major collections in and about Esperanto.
It is named after Montagu C. Butler, author of a number of works including Step by Step in Esperanto and the comprehensive Esperanto-English Dictionary.
The collections started with Butler's personal collection and the library of the Esperanto Association of Britain.[1]
It is housed in purpose-built premises at the offices of the Esperanto Association of Britain which are now located at the Wedgwood Memorial College, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, having moved from Holland Park, London in April 2001 due to financial pressures.
Collections[edit]
The library collects Esperanto literature, writings about Interlinguistics, and archival materials related to the history of Esperanto.[1] There are approximately 13000 books in its collection; there are also other materials.[2]
