The British Library's
Untold Lives Blog offers a delightful way to engage with materials from the
library's large archive collections. Updated several times a week, this blog
allows readers to explore small, curated collections and digitized material from
the library, accompanied by short essays that provide historical context. For
instance, one recent entry entitled, "Keeping Fit in 1900," features
images from early-twentieth-century catalogs advertising gym equipment such as
the "Portable Home Horizontal Bar," and a handwritten draft of rules
for a gymnasium that opened in Surrey in 1902. Another recent post discusses
the work of Stella Alexander, whose papers are housed at the library. During
the 1960s, Alexander traveled to Yugoslavia and wrote a number of reports that
documented life in Cold War-era Eastern Europe. Each blog post on Untold Lives
is accompanied by subject tags for easy browsing.
