Founded in 1896 the British Library of Political and Economic Science (LSE Library) aimed to provide primary materials from all over the world to enable research on the social, political, legal and economic environment, and a ‘laboratory’ of the social sciences was born. Since then, many significant private collections and papers were donated and collections built to support research and teaching in the social sciences.
