List members may be interested in a new History & Policy paper published today
which applies information history to the current debates over centralised
government and the information state.
"The Victorian information age: nineteenth century answers to today's
information policy questions?"
In a new H&P paper, Toni Weller of De Montfort University traces the development
of information policy in the UK since the nineteenth century. She argues that
current government plans to roll back the 'information state' would benefit
from an understanding of decentralised Victorian approaches to information
policy.
