The University of the Punjab published two volumes of catalogues of the Woolner Collection. The University has now digitized these two volumes and made them available on the net as an aid to international scholarship.
These volumes can be downloaded as PDFs for reading (but not printing) from the Punjab University Library website:

This website describes how the new Handlist supplements the catalogues described at 1. above in the following way:
- a concordance between serial numbers listed in the previous catalogue and identification numbers of the actual storage at Punjab University;
- additional information which is missing or has been omitted in the previous catalogue;
- corrections to errata and changed content.
