Collection of papers created by Linda Armstrong, and some collaboration by Jois Stansfield: researchers interested in the history of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, and the Speech and Language Therapy profession in general.
Papers were researched and created between 1999 - 2021 and many were revised and edited just prior to deposit in January 2021.
