EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph offers a glimpse into the past of the University of London Senate House and Library, showcasing the Central File storage room designed between 1932 and 1937 by the renowned architect Charles Henry Holden. The image, estimated to be taken circa 1937, transports us back in time as we gaze upon the vast expanse of filing cabinets that line the walls. The University of London Senate House and Library, an iconic building in the heart of Bloomsbury, London, was designed to house the administrative offices of the University of London and its historic library. Holden's design is a testament to the functional and aesthetic beauty of the interwar modernist movement. The Central File storage room, a crucial component of the library, was designed to accommodate the vast amount of documentation required to manage the University's operations. The room's design is a marvel of organization and efficiency, with the filing cabinets neatly arranged in rows, reaching from floor to ceiling. The room's dim lighting adds an air of mystery and intrigue, as if holding secrets waiting to be discovered. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of a prestigious institution. The University of London Senate House and Library continues to be a hub of academic excellence and research, and this image serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage that lies within its walls."
