Title'Research Intiatives'
DescriptionIncludes a invitation to the launch of the London Institute Learning Resources gateway 'theipage', pamphlets and papers about the Art of the Book exhibition in collaboration of the Library's Printing Historical Collection, and BA (Hons) Print Media Book arts & Crafts, internal memorandum about organising and arranging an exhibition first, tentatively titled 'Cinderella' and later formally as the James Joyce's typewriter and other stories: books at the London Institute exhibition. Also contains agendas and meeting notes from working parties discussing the Joyce exhibition, emails about the exhibition planning, papers about an event to showcase work from new BA Print Media Book Arts & Crafts course, memorandum from Sarah Mahurter about the event, and letters from various attendees of the event.

Further includes discussions about the Thorold Dickinson collection, Sarah Mahurter's article in Art Libraries Journal about the 'Birth of an exhibition', drafts and letters about this article, photocopy of press cutting promoting the exhibition, arrangements for the James Joyce's typewriter and other stories: books at the London Institute exhibition, faxes of exhibition planning, invitations to the private view, draft of Sarah Mahurter's speech for the private view, captions from the exhibitions, and papers about events the London Institute could contribute towards to a celebration of the millenium.

These papers largely relate to HEFCE projects managed by Sarah Mahurter, Librarian, to promote and display library books to staff, students and the public. The Book Arts exhibition was held first in 1996-1999 and due to its success a larger exhibition later titled James Joyce was performed on Davies Street in a bigger venue as part of a collaboration with the Central Saint Martins Study Collection, Chelsea and Camberwell Libraries. These records are largely internal documents, drafts and notes.
