The Biographical Dictionary of Greater Manchester Architects, 1800-1940
https://www.manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk/
The nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth were the heyday of English Catholicism, and, therefore, of church building, especially in the Greater Manchester and Merseyside sub-regions. This Biographical Dictionary will be invaluable to students of the Catholicism in the period.
Internet Archive
The Internet Archive (https://archive.org) is a free, growing collection of media, including out-of-print books, e.g. Bernard W. Kelly, Historical Notes on English Catholic Missions, 1907).
