The University Archives holds private records of former officers and staff, alumni, of student organisations and other university related organisations and individuals associated with the university. These records complement the information held on official administrative files and document the individual's involvement in the development of the university.
Records date back to the early 1900s and relate to teaching and research or to the role an individual played within the university's administration. In some instances they cover aspects of personal and family life. Individual collections vary in size from single item deposits to several boxes.
For example Sir Robert Webster's records cover aspects of his career as a soldier, farmer, manager, industrialist and University Chancellor. Notable are his war diaries, letters home and photographs from various war zones 1914-18. Sir Robert was the university's Deputy Chancellor from 1960-70 and Chancellor from 1970-75.
