The Baines Collection

The Baines Collection of children's books dating from the 18th and 19th centuries was deposited with the Institute of Education by the Department of Education in 1992. Although there are a few foreign language items, most of the books are in English. There are both story books and books of general knowledge prepared for children's recreation and instruction in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The collection was named after the extended Baines family since a large proportion of the books have hand-written dedications or the names of their original owners, nineteen of who are members of the family of Miss Eyre’s mother, Lucy Dorothea Eyre (née Baines). Other books in the collection can be linked by dedication to members of the related Eyre and Percival families.

The books are a great source for those interested in the history of literacy, learning and moral education.

The Lauwerys Collection

Joseph Alfred Lauwerys (1902-1981) joined the staff of the Institute of Education in 1933 as Lecturer in Methods of Science; in 1941 he became a Reader in Education, before being designated Professor of Comparative Education in 1947. He remained at the Institute in this position until 1970, when he was appointed Director of the Atlantic Institute, Nova Scotia. He was an editor of the World Education Yearbook for nearly 20 years.

During his career he held many visiting professorships around the world and travelled widely as a consultant and observer of educational conditions. In particular, from 1944-1945 he was Director of Commission of Enquiry on Special Educational Problems, Conference of Allied Ministers of Education and, from 1945-1947, as an adviser and consultant, he played an important role in the establishment of UNESCO. He was also heavily involved in many different organisations for promoting international co-operation and understanding and comparative education, including the World Education Fellowship.

Building on his science background, Lauwerys also pioneered new aspects of science teaching and curriculum reform, emphasising how science should be a part of mainstream culture, and promoted the use of new educational media, including film and radio.

Lauwerys bequeathed his papers and his personal library to the Institute. The Lauwerys Collection contains an eclectic mixture of material reflecting his life's work and his leisure interests.

Casella 4
Historical School Textbooks Collection

School textbooks are often discarded as having little intrinsic value or academic worth, but they are a fascinating resource for historians. For the historian of education, textbooks are useful sources of information on the development of the school curriculum, especially before the introduction of the National Curriculum. They also provide evidence of changing ideas on teaching methods and assessment.

School textbooks also provide much interesting evidence of other aspects of everyday life in past eras. In addition to the ‘factual’ presentation of contemporary life in text and illustrations, they often reveal prevailing attitudes which are likely to be controversial today. There is also plenty of evidence of history being whitewashed in these historical sources. The representation of race, gender and culture allows historians to place these these primary sources in their social, political and cultural contexts.

The Institute has one of the largest collections of British school textbooks, covering all educational levels, from nursery to sixth form. The collection represents all subjects in the curriculum, and has particular strengths in geography, history and science. A significant part of the textbooks date from the late 19th century onwards but the largest group date from the 1920s to 1960s.

Bruner and the MACOS Collection

Man A Course of Study (MACOS for short) is a social science curriculum project created in the late 1960s by a team of educationists working wiht the renowned theorist and educational psychologist Jerome S. Bruner. Bruner is probably best known for his 'Spiral Curriculum' theory which introduces complex ideas, building on the child's knowledge and experience, over a period of time.

MACOS as a curriculum was both successful and controversial. Bruner used a socio-anthropological approach to collate materials (film and images) about the Netsilik Inuits of Pelly Bay (now the Kugaaruk region of the Arctic coast of Canada, west of Hudson Bay) and their everyday life as well as the natural life surrounding them.

<centre>About the Special Collection</center>

The Newsam Library at the UCL Institute of Education holds 27 Special Collections of books and pamphlets relating to education. These are discrete, mainly historical collections of published books and documents reflectin g the history of education.

The collections vary in size and coverage. Some have been built up from a variety of sources such as the History of Education Collection which contain teachers handbooks, manuals and early textbooks and the BBC Broadcasts for Schools and Radiovision Collection which are two deposited collections.

Others are the personal libraries of individual educationists such as the collections belonging to the school inspectors, Captain Francis H. Grenfell (Physical Education) and F. H. Hayward (Moral Education). We also have the libraries of key educationists such as Dr. Ian Michael's books (almost 8000) on English grammar - he was Deputy Director at the IOE in the 1970s - and the distinguished music teacher and organist Bernarr Rainbow (1914-1998).

Although there are many 18th and 19th century books, the majority of the collection dates from the 1920s onwards. These modern collections represent the history of state-funded education in England.
