Timelines: sources from history
Developed by the British Library’s Learning Team with historians and writers, the timeline includes some of the library’s key collection items from medieval times to the present day, such as records of political events, glimpses of everyday life and writings, and speeches from historical and literary figures. Scanning through centuries of images, audio-visual, and printed material, users will be able to explore various themed timelines: ‘everyday life’, ‘music and literature’ and ‘politics, power and rebellion’ on one screen.
