Why not bring your students to Bishopsgate Library to study original material related to your course?

The Library's collection strengths are London history and the early labour, freethought, humanist and co-operative movements. 

Topics include:

• the changing East End through maps, photographs and newspaper cuttings, with a focus on either poverty or immigration
• London through guidebooks
• The Reform League
• Campaigns of the British Humanist Association
• Co-operation in 20th century London

Please use the Collections link to find out more about our collections and other topics you wish to explore.

We can also run a general introduction to the Library and a session on how to use archives.
