Scope and Content

Rev Edward Geoffrey O'Donoghue, Bethlem chaplain from 1892 to 1930, compiled a collection of lantern slides over a period of years to illustrate the regular lectures he gave, mostly on the history of the hospital, as part of a programme of entertainments for staff and patients. This collection is held as series LSC. A printed outline of the slides O'Donoghue used in 1905, and a catalogue of the slides prepared by Kenneth Cantle (who worked as an attendant, then a male nurse, at Bethlem from 1903 to 1947, and as part-time librarian at Bethlem from 1947 to 1957) in 1937, comprises series LSB.
