New research lightning talks

Thursday 5 March 2026, 12.30pm - 1.30pm

Delivered via Zoom

 
The Library & Information History Group is keen to encourage new membership and to support new research in the field of library and information history.  This session will act both as a taster to those who are not sure who we are or what we do (but would like to find out), and will give a platform for students and early career researchers to present new research or work in progress in a supportive and collegial space.

 



Speakers:

Kathryn Peak, Chair of LIHG

Jill Dye, co-editor of our journal, Library & Information History

Get to know the incredible CILIP Communities - our volunteer networks who meet regularly to programme events, trainings and conferences and publish journals, blogs and newsletters. Any CILIP member can join our community groups, attend events and/or get involved with the committee and help shape the future of their work...

The Library and Information History Group (LIHG) was formed in 1962. It is one of the Chartered Institute for Library and Information Professional's oldest special interest groups and is the only group in the UK specifically devoted to the history of libraries and librarianship.

The LIHG has close links with the scholarly journal Library & Information History. Institutional and individual subscriptions to the journal are available.
