Frequently asked questions

We’re retrospectively revamping our entire MARC catalogue to ensure that records are available at a document level and in greater detail for library catalogues and discovery products.

Update: September 2021

Due to the pandemic, we're likely to see delays in MARC delivery for the following collections: Medical Services and Warfare, Module II, Central Asia, Persia and Afghanistan, 1834-1922 and Colonial Files for the Caribbean, Module I.

We endeavour to build MARC records for every individual document in every AM collection. In order to produce MARC sets in a timely manner, we use an automated template to produce document-level records. In addition to this, we do produce full, manual records for serials, monographs and umbrella records for each collection.

If your library has purchased perpetual access to a collection, there are no download limits for authorised users.

You can find a range of case studies on using our collections in teaching and research on the AM website. 

The copyright holders for each collection varies. You can read more about a collection’s copyright status and how you can use materials from in the ‘Terms of Use’ of any product site, located in the ‘Help’ section.
