  <dc:description>This collection contains papers of Edith Ramsay, mainly 1923-1980, concerning her assistance to individuals and families around immigrant and housing issues in Stepney and Whitechapel area.

Papers also cover other communities including Jewish, Irish and Scottish.

There are also records on adult education and local history, with articles, newspaper cuttings and her involvement with the media. The papers also provide rich material on contemporary concerns about vice in Stepney, especially prostitution, drug taking and cafes and clubs.

Some files contain personal information which relates to individuals who may be living. Identifiable personal information in title and description in this catalogue has therefore been redacted.
