COVERAGE The institutions of marriage and family were threatened by the new methods of
birth control which became available in the late 19th century. The first organization in
England dedicated to advocating the practice of birth control was the Malthusian League.
The library has Series 1: Journals and Papers of the Birth Control Movement. This
collection contains Part 1: the complete run of its journal Malthusian from 1879-1921, and
Part 2: the Eugenics Review from 1909-1921. The Malthusian documents the questions of
population, wage issues, poverty, prostitution and from 1910 onward an increasing interest
in eugenics. It also provides information on birth control, marriage, the family, poverty,
prostitution, racial theories, and the whole area of women and social change.
