Charles Booth’s London: imagining the Victorian metropolis Neil Stewart, Digital Library Manager, LSE Library, London School of Economics and Political Science Charles Booth’s London is a newly redeveloped website which makes available LSE Library’s Charles Booth archive. The archive contains the famous Poverty Maps and Police Notebooks, which together provide a richly evocative picture of Victorian London in all its contrasting poverty and wealth. The presentation will describe the project to create Charles Booth’s London, including the technical challenges of associating maps and archives in a website, and the efforts to make its contents accessible to a wide set of audiences. The presentation will feature a live demonstration of the site to illustrate these technical, design and accessibility features.
