Significant work of British bibliography, referred to simply as "Wing," continuing from Pollard and Redgrave's 1928 Short-Title Catalogue covering 1475-1640. Eventually both Pollard/Redgrave's and Wing's STCs were combined and expanded upon to form the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) database, which is maintained jointly by the British Library and the University of California Riverside's Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research.
