Subject: New LSE website: Charles Booth's London
Dear LIS-Maps members,
* with apologies for cross-posting *
LSE has just launched Charles Booth’s London, a website making available the famous poverty maps and the descriptively rich police notebooks arising from Booth’s ground-breaking study Inquiry Into the Life and Labour of the People in London (1886-1903).
The new site allows visitors to view, interact with and download the poverty maps, and to geo-locate the police notebooks against the maps. Visitors can also browse and download the notebooks. In addition the site provides a wealth of contextual information about Booth, the Inquiry, and Victorian London more generally.
The site can be accessed at https://booth.lse.ac.uk/. LSE have published a news item at: http://www.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/aroundLSE/archives/2016/Charles-Booths-London.aspx. Feedback, comments and enquiries can be directed to [log in to unmask].
