Charles London Pickering Archive The records in Charles London Pickering Archive spans his life as a print student at the London County Council Central School of Arts and all of his career as a lecturer of Typography and Inspector of Education until the year of his death in 1998. Records relate to the history of printing, typography and the book trade from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and some interesting early bindings, which can be found in the University of the Arts library. Most records of the Charles London PickeringArchive fall into the time after 1949, when Pickering was appointed as Inspector of Education (HMI). This Archive includes records about Pickering's lifetime involvement in various print societies, as evidenced by his annual membership cards which date from 1926 to 1992, correspondence and photographs. Most notably records on the Double Crown Club, the Association of Teachers of Printing and Allied Subjects (ATPAS), Beatrice L Warde Trust and the Wynkyn de Worde society can be found. Through print samples, pamphlets and articles on printing and print education the development of the craft of printing, especially print education, in the twentieth century can be followed. This Archive also comprises Pickering's personal papers, sketchbooks, notes and some of the publications and books which may have formed part of Pickering's personal library. [1450]-1998
