Finding sexuality and sexual science in the archives. Dr Lesley
Hall, Senior Archivist at the Wellcome Library, examines sources at
the Wellcome Library on questions of sexuality from approximately
1800 to the present, with particular reference to the roles of
medicine and the psychological sciences. She also considers related
collections worldwide, with particular reference to the impact of
European fascism on individuals and the archival record. Dr Lesley
Hall has written extensively on gender and sexuality in the 19th
and 20th centuries, including (with the late Roy Porter) The Facts
of Life: the creation of sexual knowledge in Britain, 1650-1950
(Yale UP 1995), and Sex, Gender and Social Change in Britain since
1880 (Palgrave, 2nd edition 2012). This talk formed part of The
National Archives' Diversity Week.
