Strength Through Unity: LGBT+ History Month
To mark LGBT+ History Month 2021, our online exhibition 'Strength Through Unity' looks at zines, student newspapers and other publications which show aspects of the LGBT+ experience over the past 50 years.
MRC service provision during current lockdown
In conjunction with the latest UK Government Covid-19 guidance, the Library and the University Executive Board have reviewed opening arrangements and we will no longer be able to provide a visiting searchroom service to researchers from the 13th January. We do remain open to staff and will continue to provide a limited checking and scanning service for those wishing to access archives.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused and we hope to see researchers back in the MRC in the near future.

National Asylum Workers Union: sources online!
All issues of the National Asylum Workers Union magazine between 1912-1929 have now been scanned and are available online through the Modern Records Centre's catalogue.
The journal includes information about the activities of the union, conditions for employees and some patients within asylums, and attitudes towards mental health during the early 20th century.
If there are out of copyright documents at the Modern Records Centre that you would like to see online, get in contact with us and help us to prioritise our digitisation programme.
