Well we can tell you what they are NOT...

A fusty room where noone can see our history.

We have photos, objects and a museum where anyone can come and see our archive. We rotate regularly so nothing is forgotten.

We also upload objects onto an online archive

Setting up our Kangchenjunga 1955 exhibition - the photo album shown here is our newest donation.

It's the photo album of John Kempe and documents his 1953 Kangchenjunga reconnaissance- his work in 53 and 54 laid the foundation for the successful ascent in 1955. #ArchivesToday #Archives30

The first delivery to the Archives Centre was 5 boxes of material about Clement Attlee in 1965 - before we even had our own building!

Today, we have 637 unique collections across thousands of boxes: archives.chu.cam.ac.uk/collections/...

It's always interesting to see how research interests change. A new entry at no.1 for our most accessed collection 2024/5 was the records of Glasgow Medical Society and in particular, a series of essays written by its members. The most popular essay was on venereal patients #ArchivesToday #Archive30
