As part of a kind gift from the family of the late Joy Rowe, I now have a complete run of The Essex Recusant (otherwise known as South-Eastern Catholic History), an obscure yet important local journal of Catholic history. Here's the first number from April 1959 
This is an example of a journal that, even if it's in a library, can be very difficult indeed to access; so I feel very fortunate to have the whole lot
Although few libraries have this journal; most numbers look like they were typed by hand and printed on a bander
It's also worth noting (as horrible as the thought may be) that some of the archival material on which the articles were based was disposed of or deliberately destroyed in the 60s and 70s (which happened a lot in Catholic archives). So this stuff is gold.
