Editor's Notes
- This slide gives you an idea of the range and growth of our collections from newspapers and wax cylinders (courtesy of the Sound Archive) to the fanzine collections (there are over 1000 football fanzines alone) and oral histories. 150 million items 625 km shelves 12 km growth per year “The British Library is a paradise on earth…what it is supposed to do it does – and does so brilliantly it could make you weep” Sam Leith, The Daily Telegraph 30/01/2007
- Social science collection development, access and resource management
- As well as events and exhibitions, we have developed a number of research partnerships which will enhance our collections as well as producing new research material. Three major research partnerships are currently underway – Sisterhood and After, Voices of the UK and Children’s Playground Games in the New Media Age.
