Communicating London's early history
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 February 2009

In an age of ‘performance indicators’, how does society measure museums′ presentation of history, and does this affect the manner in which history is communicated? The internal conflicts between presenting history and preserving research integrity are the context for this review of recent curatorial and archæological work in London.
