A potted history of The DfES Library
The Library predates most of the various
Department and Ministry incarnations of
‘Education’ over the last century and a half,
tracing its history back to 1854.
The collection was founded as a result of an
Education Exhibition that ran from July to
September of that year. This original collection
was then handed to the Science and Art Department
of the Committee of the Council on Education when
the exhibition closed and in 1908, moved to what
would be the first of many purpose-designed rooms
in Whitehall. Since then, the collection has seen
many changes, both in terms of material,
location, access and of course, staff! Today, we
still see The Library responding to the changing
needs of policy makers and administrators in the
range of services and support we provide. No
longer just a physical collection, we are
increasingly raising our profile at staff
desktops through the range of online resources we
provide. We have also seen an increase in the
range of consultancy and facilitation roles we
offer – from metadata to communities of practice
and research skills support.

"Cualquier hombre que lea demasiado y utilice
poco su propio cerebro cae en
hábitos mentales perezosos.” Albert Einstein (S.
Thorpe. Como pensar como
Einstein, p. 214)
"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file,
has already earned my contempt. He has been given
a large brain by mistake, since for him the
spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace
to civilization should be done away with at once.
Heroism at command, how violently I hate all
this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would
rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so
base an action. It is my conviction that killing
under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of
murder."
-- Albert Einstein
