An archive consisting of posters and memorabilia previously displayed across London’s Tube network (what we call the subway system in the US) has been donated to Cambridge University Library. The Poems On The Underground project, initially conceived by writers Judith Chernaik, Gerard Benson, and Cicely Herbert, featured the works of literary greats. According to an article Writer’s Relief found on BBC.com, the collection also includes correspondence from the authors and public announcements for readings, concerts, and book publications.
