The subjects included are as follows: naval history, mercantile history, nautical archaeology (but not the more technical works), biography, voyages and travel, and art and weapons and artefacts. A list of acquisitions of manuscripts precedes the published works cited, and I am, as always, grateful to The National Archives: Historical Manuscripts Commission (TNA: HMC) for providing this. With regard to books, International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) have been included, when available. This bibliography for 2011 was prepared and edited by Karen Partridge. Any correspondence relating to the bibliography should be sent to her at: 12 The Brambles, Limes Park Road, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, pe27 5nj email: [email protected] The compiler would like to thank everyone who contributed to the present bibliography, and always welcomes the assistance of readers.

Introductory note to accessions 2011 In its annual Accession to Repository survey, The National Archives collects information from over 200 record repositories throughout the British Isles about manuscript accessions received in the previous 12 months. This information is added to the indexes to the National Register of Archives, and it is also edited and used to produce 34 thematic digests that are then accessed through the National Archives website (www.national archives.gov.uk/ accessions).
