These posters are based on the responses to a survey of children at a Primary School as part of the LSE Festival 2021. The children were asked for their experiences and feelings around COVID-19 and related restrictions and then turned into infographics by artist Becci Kenning.

I usually work part time as a Healthcare Assistant in the Emergency Department. This photo was taken during my first ITU shift earlier this year- it was a night shift and I was already nervous to be working in a new area. I had the fright of my life (and actually screamed) when I switched on the light in the store room and found this disfigured hospital training doll. It was very funny and certainly made my new team laugh. I think it has now become a running joke to play on new staff- she seems to pop up everywhere!

We wanted to capture photos of our staff during the pandemic, both at work and play. The photos were taken of staff working in the library and at home. It also showed colleagues travelling, being on holiday and spending quality time with their families. We believed that bringing these photographs together could help to capture some of the significant changes in our daily lives and outlook during lock down. We also thought that putting these pictures together to make a typical day would make an interesting presentation. We had a enthusiastic response, lots of photos were sent in and we made sure we used them all. We then created some music that we thought would fit the style of the presentation.

The COVID-19 oral history interviews were recorded between May and December 2022, as part of the LSE COVID-19 archive project led by the Library. The interviews document the experiences of members of the LSE community, who were invited to share their memories of studying, working and socialising during the pandemic and to reflect on the impact which it has had on their lives.

This series includes the recordings of interviews with pioneering Gay Christian activists, advicates and allies, carried out as part of an heritage project called 'Christian Voices Coming Out'. The project marked the 40th anniversary since the foundation of the Gay Christan Movement in 1976, now called OneBodyOneFaith.

Between 1976 and 2016, these individuals worked for the acceptance, affirmation and welcome of gay and lesbian people, have challenged the churches when they have diminished and dismissed their lives, loves and identities, and borne witness to a Christian faith build on principles of justice, compassion and love.

Volunteers have been working to record interviews with people from across the UK, from different church backgrounds, each with a unique story to tell. Some will be well known as leaders and activists, others have worked tirelessly in communities, often unrecognised until now.

Alongside their stories is the story of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, founded in 1976, told thorough its archive material, currently part of the Hall Carpenter Collection at the London School of Economics. The catalogue is available online.
