Launch of the British Library for Development Studies (BLDS) Legacy Collection

There has been a secret treasure trove lurking in the basement of the Institute of Development Studies building, adjoining the University of Sussex Library – until now.

This seminar is part of the launch of the British Library for Development Studies Legacy Collection, a fantastically rich collection of documents tracking the history of 20th century development, now accessible to researchers, students, practitioners and the public. The Collection comprises more than a quarter of a million reports, policy documents, educational and political pamphlets assembled by IDS researchers and librarians since the 1950s, spanning the key period when many countries in Africa and Asia were embarking on post-independence trajectories and when countries in Latin America were articulating national programmes of development and ‘modernisation’.

Speakers:
Melissa Leach, Director of IDS
Erica Nelson, Research Fellow
Jeremy Allouche, Professorial Fellow
Hayley MacGregor, Professorial Fellow
All welcome
