Welcome Library fans to our new display at Queen Square Library and Archives (QSLA), celebrating #UCL200, #ION75, and QSLA’s 138-year history, its people, connections and collections, from basement obscurity to flagship status. More info available at www.queensquare.org.uk/archives/interesting

Some of the items for the display covering the years 1888-1949 - a floorplan of the National Hospital's new wing in 1938, the Medical Library in the 1940s, sandbags outside of the Library during the Second World War, and the Medical Committee meeting minutes, where it all began.

The suggestion of creating a Medical Library, and the following endorsement, occurred at the Medical Committee meeting in February 1888. This Committee was composed of key neurologist pioneers and clinicians of The National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic (former name for The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery).

A selection of objects - a copper printing plate (1951), exhibition programmes, a plaque in tribute to the Wolfson Foundation donation (1980/81, and the Gowers Library (patients' library) doorplate.

Gowers, a Pitman’s shorthand devotee, used it for his medical work, monographs, lectures and diaries. He advocated its use by the medical profession. His fiancée, Mary Baines, learnt it so they could exchange private postcards. His children knew it too! See QSA tinyurl.com/3vpvtsn2 #EYAHandwriting
