OTP 2021 Hub - LSE Library, London
LSE Library was conceived as a laboratory for the social sciences in 1896. The Library would provide a place where people interested in the study and understanding of society could come together and find the materials for their work. The dynamic pursuit of this vision has built one of the most outstanding social science libraries in the world.
We hold extensive collections on British political and economic history, including archives of influential political parties, pressure groups, think tanks, politicians and campaigners. Particular strengths are peace and internationalism, women’s equality and LGBT equality.
LSE Library has been home to the Hall-Carpenter Archives since 1988. It’s an extensive collection of archives, ephemera and printed material documenting the development of gay activism in the UK since the 1950s.
We will be hosting an online event on Zoom for OTP 202 on Thursday 25 February around the theme of ‘Networks and Support’. In addition, we have an event presented by Jenny White for LGBT History Month on the interwar zine Urania on Tuesday 9 February as part of our exhibition programme on women’s magazines. We hope to be launching a downloadable teachers’ resource using our archive collection on LGBT+ rights for PSHE / RE.
