‘A NEW LABORATORY OF SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH’: THE BRITISH LIBRARY OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SCIENCE

The British Library of Political and Economic Science, of which Geoffrey Woledge was Librarian from 1944 to 1966, and which was the major interest and achievement of his professional life, was from the outset intended to serve as a national collection of materials for research in the social sciences, serving all who need this material, while also acting as the working library of the London School of Economics.
