Archival/Digitisation history

The Autograph Letter Collection is a result of various donations of letters to Women’s Service Library (now The Women’s Library) between 1930 and the early 2000s. The collection is arranged into 30 groups either by theme or by prominent individuals. The letters were numbered sequentially in the 1980s with an ALC number and then catalogued in an Archives Management System (CALM) with referencing as indicated in the ‘Information on originals’ field. The collection has been digitised at LSE Digitisation Suite by the in-house digitisation team in 2023 and gradually more series will be released as digitisation progresses.
