We at Leeds had a phenomenal response from the postgraduate community and are very happy to be hosting an annual event that goes from strength to strength. The following three-days promise to be exciting and stimulating (not to mention fun). The conference is a great opportunity for postgraduates in the history/philosophy/sociology/et al.ology of science, technology, and medicine to participate in thoughtful discussions, test and exchange ideas, but also relax and enjoy everything Leeds has to offer. We were of course particularly pleased with the great number of papers that blend historical and philosophical perspectives, which marvellously showcase the tradition of the Leeds Centre for HPS. So, without further ado, thank you all very much, welcome to Leeds, and let’s begin! To contact the organisers before, during or after the conference, please email: [email protected] Emergency Contact If you have an emergency and need to contact the organisers out of hours during the period of the conference, you may call 07741331138.

  • Leeds University Library in the Late
    Leeds University Library: Change and Development in its Services, 1975–2003 Oliver Pickering The following account was written in 2003 to form a chapter in a volume intended to celebrate the centenary of the University of Leeds in 2004 but which was later abandoned. I am publishing it now (April 2021) as a small contribution to UK academic library history. At the time of writing I was Deputy Head of the Special Collections department. On 14 October 1975 Harold Macmillan, the former prime minister, officially opened the University’s new South Library and in so doing inaugurated a fresh phase of Leeds University Library’s history. By his side were the Vice-Chancellor, Lord Boyle, in whose memory the building would later be renamed, and the University Librarian, Dennis Cox, who had worked hard to make the vision a reality. The remarkable growth of the Library, creating a need for ever more space, constitutes one of the main themes of its history during the last thirty years. Others are the increasing attention paid to meeting users' needs and, of course, the exploitation of information technology, which on that day in 1975 had hardly begun.1 The earlier part of the twentieth century had fallen, in Library terms, into two almost equal halves: before and after the opening of the Brotherton Library in 1936 and the accompanying arrival of the Brotherton Collection, Lord Brotherton’s private library of rare books and manuscripts. The Brotherton family’s gifts and bequests had transformed the reputation of Leeds University Library, and Richard Offor and B.S.

  • Education Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Education Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide looks at buildings of all types provided to facilitate education, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Education stimulated some of the country’s finest architecture, ranging from the medieval universities to post-war primary schools. Many schools were built in response to the successive Education Acts of 1870 and later, and embody in physical form developing ideas on education, and child welfare more generally.
