Popis:	In the late Nineteenth Century Charles Booth undertook a detailed survey of the living and working conditions of Londoners. Uniquely the original notes and data for the survey survive. The British Library of Political and Economic Science (BLPES) and the University of London Library with funding from the Research Support Libraries Programme are undertaking a project to improve access to Booth's data as well as other related documents. Indexing and cataloguing will be improved. Geographical Information System (GIS) software will be used to match survey maps with more accurate modern maps. GIS will also permit users to do spatial queries ‐ with results as bibliographic records or images. The resulting service though primarily aimed at HE will be of immense interest for a wide range of audiences including schools.
