Document of the Month – April 2020
Our document of the month this is time is Blot #02, a publication by the National Union of School Students (late 1970s). Apparently described by school heads as a publication ‘which many parents and pupils have found extremely offensive and objectionable’, it addressed issues like bullying, abortion, life as an LGBTQ+ pupil, and anti-fascist action.
New additions to the Digital Library - April 2020
We hope you are all safe and well. Please see below our list of new additions to the Digital Library. A bit delayed, but also a bit longer than normal. This month we have another eclectic mix for you, including a lot of pamphlets, a bunch of local materials and tons of CND and TUCND publications. Much of this ties in nicely with other materials we have already made available online, such as further issues of local papers such as Flypaper, Nottingham CND Bulletin, Poll Axe and suchlike. There is also some rare and fascinating stuff like an issue of Blot, the paper of the National Union of School Students.
