Below is a guide to material relating to the University College, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ or the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ which is not contained in the main university collections:
Printed Material
Printed material is also present in the University archives, but more complete series of publications such as the University Calendar, Annual Reports, departmental prospectuses and student publications are held in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Special Collection. This material can be searched for using .
Various incarnations of the university student magazine are housed in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Special Collection. The Gong, produced and published by students, was variously known as the Magazine of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ University College, The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ University College Chronicle, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ University Arts Magazine and the Arts Magazine of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ University. We have issues for the following years: 1895-1903, 1909, 1911-1976, 1994/95. The Gongster, was set up as a rival to The Gong and there is almost a complete run (with the occasional missing issue), from its inception in 1939 to its closure in 1978. The Gongster was superseded by a new student magazine, Bias, which ran from 1978-1984. The complete run of this magazine is held in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Special Collection. The current student magazine, Impact, was established in 1985 and copies are held from 1985 to the present day.
There have been three student magazines for the Midland Agricultural College, now the School of Biosciences, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½: The Midland Agricultural and Dairy College Magazine, 1911-1926, The Kingstonian, 1927-1944, and Agrimag, 1947-. A complete run of these magazines is held in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Special Collection.
Papers of former staff and students
Papers of the Students' Union and various other student and staff societies are also held. They include minutes, correspondence, membership registers and photographs. The professional and personal papers of several former members of staff are also present in our collections, as well as lecture notes, personal papers and memorabilia relating to the time at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ of former students. Many of these are classified as rather than University archives.
