Book

Anne Morgan

This book is an invaluable guide to the organization and content of the surviving education records held at the Public Record Office. It examines the State's role in education since the creation of the education department in the 1830's up to the 1970's, and covers all levels from elementary schools to university. The development of the teaching profession and inspectorate is explained together with the creation of the school curriculum and examinations.

Conveniently arranged by subject or by type of school or institution, this illustrated guide shows how the records fit together and by use of case studies demonstrates the enormous scope of material available.
