"These online exhibitions describe the innovative work of King's alumni which have helped transform the modern world - discoveries which include the unravelling of the DNA double helix and the development of the telegraph and colour photography. "They also highlight the particular strengths of the collections, which contain rich medical, dental or nursing-related material including psychiatry and hospital and public health records. Arts and humanities collections range from examples of American beat and concrete poetry to the history of modern Greece. "The holdings of the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives cover more than a century of modern history, war, empire and exploration: visit 'The Serving Soldier' microsite and our online exhibitions to learn more. "The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Library Collection of 80,000 volumes on war, politics and diplomacy, travel, anthropology and the natural world includes a wealth of unique content ideal for use in teaching, learning and research. "New online exhibitions are published each year to support College programmes including academic conferences and anniversaries; or to contribute to regional or national cultural festivals such as Open House Weekend and the Story of London. Alongside digital content, major physical exhibitions are also curated and are open to the public in the Weston Room of the Maughan Library in Chancery Lane: please visit our web pages regularly for news on forthcoming exhibitions."
