Researching Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr Day is a holiday held on the third Monday of January in the USA. It celebrates the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr, the influential American civil rights leader. In this blog post, we will look at some of the resources that are available about Martin Luther King at Canterbury Christ Church University Library, in media, print and online.

The library’s American Studies subject guide is a good place to start as it provides general information about searching for books, journals and websites related to US society, culture and politics.

Personal Development Week – What’s going on in the Library?

Running from the 20th – 24th January, Personal Development Week is a great opportunity for you to develop new skills that could be key to your academic success and prepare you for your future career. We have a  range of events, activities and workshops planned both at Augustine House or available online. Let’s take a look at what’s happening:

The University’s archives and special collections are held in Augustine House. Nineteenth century literature is a particular strength with literary gems such as the Mary Braddon Archive, the Sarah Grand Collection, the Gaskell Collection and the Historical Children’s Fiction Collection. In addition, the university’s own archive of its history along with a small selection of eclectic historic books complete the collection.
