Telling the story of LSE
The very first students arrived at LSE on 10 October 1895. Today the LSE History blog celebrates the people, places and sometimes quirky events that make up the story of LSE, from 1895 to the present day. During 2015 LSE celebrated its 120th anniversary and the importance of the School’s story was felt more than ever. Look out for events, blog posts, publications, video and audio telling you more than you ever thought you could possibly want to know about what has made LSE one of the world’s most influential seats of learning.

The LSE History blog and Timeline
The LSE History blog explores LSE’s people, places, events and more with in-depth posts to showcase LSE’s hidden history. Commissioned in 2013, the LSE History Timeline seeks to provide a comprehensive and visually engaging introduction to the School’s fascinating history. The Timeline chronicles the Schools’ significant events from its inception to the present day and will be updated as time goes by.
Staff, students and alumni are invited to contact the Editor or the LSE Archivist with suggestions for future blog post topics. Blog posts can build on existing Timeline entries or can bring to light a character, an event or even an “impact” of the School that you feel should be recorded and honoured.
