A monumental achievement - almost all the Booth (Life & Labour of the People of London, the famous coloured poverty maps) research notebooks scanned and annotated for free. No university ID needed, etc. Perhaps THE London resource.
Charles Booth news!
We've uploaded a further 317 notebooks from the archive to our website. You can now view and download the Poverty, Industry and Religious notebooks. Free to all: booth.lse.ac.uk/notebooks 🗺️ 📓
ALT A front page of a journal. The title is Joyful Tidings, dated May 1899. The cover includes a list and a picture of a church.
ALT Part of one of the Charles Booth Poverty maps. It covers central London where LSE university is based. The roads are various colours indicating the social class of the area. Around LSE is black and blue which indicates the poorest of areas. Other surrounding areas are red which represents a middle class status. The picture also includes a key which indicates what the various colours represent.
ALT Two pages of one of the uploaded notebooks. They include drawings of Cambridge Street and Regent's Canal as well as what looks like a bridge and also a cart and horse.
