LSE Library archives drop-in session

Hosted by the LSE Library

Join us for an early evening sneak peek at the archives in celebration of Disability History Month!

Archives on display will include materials of suffragette Rosa May Billinghurst, papers from the Maternity Alliance Disability Working Group (now Maternity Action, maternity rights charity), GEMMA newsletters, Gay Men's Disabled Group newsletters, the Disablement Income Group (DIG) and more!

Our friendly team of curators and archivists will be on hand to answer any questions and talk more about using archives and special collections in your teaching, research or for personal interest.

Book a place to register your interest and receive reminders about the day or just drop in and stay as long as you like!

If you can't make it, follow us on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook where we regularly share items and stories from our rich online and printed collections. We love to hear how you are using them!
