  • A History of the British Library Slavonic and East European Collections: 1952-2004
    A History of the British Library Slavonic and East European Collections: 1952-2004 Milan Grba Preface The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to the British Library Slavonic and East European Department oral history interviews project. The project was carried out over two years, and nineteen former Slavonic and East European department staff took part in it in 2011 and 2012. The material from the oral history project and description in more detail can be accessed via the British Library Sound and Moving Image Catalogue (http://cadensa.bl.uk/cgi-bin/webcat) as the entry ‘the British Library Slavonic and East European Oral History Interviews’. This article is limited only to information that has not been discussed in interviews or published in previous research on the British Library collections.1 It draws on two main sources of information. The unpublished primary sources which were consulted are held in the British Library Archives in the DH 2 series and the published sources were derived from P. R. Harris, A History of the British Museum Library, 1753-1973 (London, 1998).2 The British Library staff office notices were also consulted for the period 1973 to 2000, but this period is examined to a lesser extent. This is partly due to the information already provided in the interviews and partly to the time limits imposed upon the research for this article. Much more attention is needed for the post-1973 period, and without a full grasp and understanding of the archive sources it would be not possible properly to assess the available information held in the British Library 1 Such as P.

  • Intouniversity Works with Universities to Provide Local Learning Centres Where Young People Are Inspired to Achieve
    IntoUniversity works with universities to provide local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve. IntoUniversity Oxford South East Annual Report Prepared for Christ Church, Oxford and the University of Oxford 2019/20 Chief Executive Introduction I am very pleased to be able to thank Christ Church, Oxford and the University of Oxford for their support of IntoUniversity. Our work is only made possible by the generous support and investment from partners such as yourselves and I am delighted to present this report on the performance of IntoUniversity Oxford South East for 2019/20. This report provides details of delivery to young people that took place prior to the national lockdown. In March we took the difficult decision to close temporarily all IntoUniversity centres and they remained closed for the rest of the academic year. Inevitably, this means we did not reach all of our targets for 2019/20. For further information, please see programme output tables Dr Rachel Carr OBE at the back of the report. Despite the centre closures, we were determined to continue providing support to our students remotely, and we immediately embarked on a response to the lockdown, quickly adapting our offer of support; you can find more information on how we did this later in the report. We are delighted that our centres were able to re-open for our young people in September for the 2021/21 academic year, with strict social distancing measures in place. The COVID-19 crisis was certainly an unprecedented challenge, but much has been achieved by IntoUniversity in the 2019/20 academic year.

It proved to be an immensely complex phenomenon influencing lives across the planet in myriad ways, and as such has fascinated historians and the wider public alike ever since. The centenary of the conflict gives us the chance to re-evaluate the experience. It is an opportunity for us all to question our understandings and perceptions of this momentous event in history. This booklet provides advice on resources for research for those interested in the history of the First World War and ideas for developing and funding centenary projects.

  • The Changing Role of the Library: Missions and Ethics
    Purdue University Purdue e-Pubs Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences 1999 IATUL Proceedings The changing role of the library: missions and ethics David Russon The British Library David Russon, "The changing role of the library: missions and ethics." Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences. Paper 29. https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/iatul/1999/papers/29 This document has been made available through Purdue e-Pubs, a service of the Purdue University Libraries. Please contact [email protected] for additional information. THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE LIBRARY: MISSIONS AND ETHICS David Russon, Deputy Chief Executive, The British Library, London, UK E-mail: [email protected] I recognise that the theme of your conference - the changing role of the library - focuses on academic libraries and the changes that will stem from the changes in educational structures and organisations, and in new approaches to teaching and learning. Given that national libraries play a significant role in the educational systems of their countries, these changes will also impact on them. However what I should like to do in the time allotted to me this morning is to describe some of the broader questions of mission and ethics that the British Library has recently been addressing. The British Library experience is I believe of relevance to all national libraries, and much of it to academic libraries. National Libraries depend upon the general public for their very existence. All of them survive to a very great extent on the tax payer. In the face of huge competing pressure on government funding, particularly for education and health, national libraries will only flourish if they have political support, and that political support will only be forthcoming if there is a general recognition that national libraries make a significant contribution to national life.

  • Directory to Western Printed Heritage Collections
    Directory to western printed heritage collections A. Background to the collections B. Major named Collections of rare books C. Surveys of Early and Rare Books by Place of Origin D. Surveys of Special Collections by Format A. Background to the Collections A1. Introduction. The Library was founded in 1973 (British Library Act 1972). A number of existing collections were transferred into its care at that time, the most extensive of which were those of the British Museum’s Department of Printed Books (including the National Reference Library of Science and Invention), Department of Mss, and Department Oriental Mss and Printed Books. Other collections of rare and special materials have been added subsequently, most notably the India Office Library & Records in 1982. The Library today holds over 150 million collection items, including books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, printed music, maps, mss, archival records, sound recordings, postage stamps, electronic titles, and archived websites; this figure includes an estimated 4.1 million books, pamphlets and periodical titles printed in the West from the 15th cent to the 19th cent. The breadth of collecting in terms of subjects, dates, languages, and geographical provenance has always been a feature of collection building policies. A wide range of heritage materials continues to be acquired from Britain and overseas through purchase and donation. The Library’s early printed materials feature prominently in a range of digital facsimile products, e.g. Early English Books Online, Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Early Music Online, Nineteenth Century Collections Online, and Google Books. Direct links to facsimiles are increasingly provided from the Library’s website, particularly from the main catalogues.
