Updated Bibliography for William Knibb, Missionary and Anti-slavery Campaigner, with material previously unavailable online

I recently launched a Go Fund Me campaign for overhead scanning equipment. Thanks to the generosity of my supporters, I have now been able pay for part of this equipment which allows me to digitise older material that cannot be done on a flatbed scanner. This YouTube video by Klaus Frankfurt shows how the method works – although I am using a different camera to the one shown.

Scanning a book using an overhead camera.

As an example of the advantages of this method, I have updated the bibliography of William Knibb [1803-1845], the noted Baptist missionary and anti-slavery campaigner. The bibliography now includes download links to rare material from several books and contemporary magazine articles. Many of these have not been readily available for students and scholars before now, because their rarity, age and fragility made them difficult to digitise.
