WRIGHT, Sir Charles Theodore Hagberg (1862-1940) National Library of Ireland 1889; CL London Library 1893-1940 He was the maker of the modern London Library. When he took up his duties the building, the stock, the catalogue and the register of subscribers were all alike in chaotic condition. He brought order. The register was brought up to date, the book stock was reclassified and re-catalogued - mostly by Wright himself - and the library was rebuilt. The new catalogue was published in 1903, and was followed by eight annual supplements, and the famous subject indexes appeared in 1909, 1923 and 1938.
