SUMMARY:From Coffee House to Fleet Street; An Archive Evening Celebrating London’s Newspaper Legacy
DESCRIPTION:A Library and Archives Committee Event \nJoin us for a celebration of this story\, and discover some of the documents which shed light on it – all of them safely stored in the climate-controlled vault in the Tokefleld Centre at Stationers’ Hall. \nFrom the lifting of press licensing in 1695 to Elizabeth Mallet’s pioneering Daily Courant\, discover how London’s first daily newspapers emerged from the culture of argument and debate which had long characterised London’s coffee houses. \nTrace the fascinating journey of London’s printing culture across the Atlantic – from Benjamin’s Franklin’s apprenticeship in Bartholemew Close\, near the Hall\, to the revolutionary presses of Philadelphia. Discover how adventures in book publishing extended the newspapers’ business model. \nHear of the formation of the Newspaper Makers in 1931\, with the Prince of Wales\, the future Edward VIII\, attending an early dinner. Explore the story behind the merger of the Stationers and the Newspaper Makers in 1932 – a move which led to women being admitted to the Company for the first time. \nReflect on how the move from solid Fleet Street premises to a born-digital world has changed the world of newspapers forever. \nSpeakers \nJonathan Grun is a former editor of the Press Association\, and President of the Society of Editors. He is a Westminster Guide. \nDr Margarette Lincoln is a Curator Emerita at the National Maritime Museum\, Greenwich\, London\, where she was Deputy Director until 2015. She has been a Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths\, University of London\, and Visiting Researcher at the University of Portsmouth. \nRoss Hamilton is a former teacher in China and the UK\, and author of the book Cycling in Surrey (published by Bradt). He is an experienced tour guide in the City of London. \nThe panel will be chaired by Court Assistant Oliver Gadsby\, Chair of the Library and Archives Committee and President of the Independent Publishers Guild. \nTickets: \n£30 attendance at the Archive Evening\, with wine\, soft drinks and sandwiches \n£10 online / virtual only \nSchedule: \n6.00 Exhibition opens \n6.30 PM Drinks reception \n7.00 PM Presentation and discussion \n7.45 PM Q&A \n8.00 PM Drinks and sandwiches \n8.45 PM Event Ends \nDress code: Smart Casual
