Summary: New Director For Museum (Press, 29 May 1968)
Sir John Wolfenden has been appointed as the next director and principal librarian of the British Museum, according to a report from London on 28 May 1968. Sir John is known for leading an important inquiry 12 years prior into homosexual offences and prostitution. His report, published in 1960, made significant recommendations that influenced British law. Notably, it recommended that soliciting by prostitutes be criminalised, while advocating for the decriminalisation of homosexual acts in private between consenting adults. His new role at the British Museum marks a significant milestone in his career.
