Geschiedenis
The Library Committee was responsible for the direction of the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, other Corporation libraries, the Barbican Art Gallery and the Guildhall Museum (now part of the Museum of London). On 24 Oct 1985 the Common Council agreed to transfer the Greater London Record Office to the Corporation following the GLC's abolition on 1 Apr 1986. It was recommended that the Library Committee should be responsible for the GLRO once it was transferred to the Corporation, and its title was changed to the Libraries, Art Galleries and Records Committee to reflect this wider scope. In April 1998 the transfer of responsibility for the Barbican Art Gallery, from the committee to the Barbican Centre Committee, caused a further change of name to The Libraries, Guildhall Art Gallery and Archives Committee.
Following the creation of the Libraries, Archives and Guildhall Art Gallery Department (through the merger of the Libraries and Guildhall Art Gallery Department and the Joint Archive Service) the name of the Committee was again changed in April 2005. The new title, reflecting the departmental reorgansation, is the Libraries, Archives and Guildhall Art Gallery Committee.
