This collection of videos showcases key memories from some of our earliest staff members. In
2012 SURSA held a "Memory Day". Members and their friends were invited to come into the Library
to see a display of photographs of the University from its earliest days together with other
archival material such as newspapers, to chat about what they remembered over a cup of tea, and
to record the memories that had been triggered. With help from Fred Phillips from the IT team
we recorded five interviews on video as well as many sound interviews.
