91¸£Àû

Now available in the Speaking Archives! part of our website: selected readings from the diaries of young Londoner Tom Flinn, cyclist, wireless fan, cultural critic and more besides, 1932-1935.

Then & Now: Arts at 91¸£Àû is a new online exhibition researched and curated by students on the history of the Arts Faculty: /fac/arts/applyingtostudy/currentstudents/thenandnow

Undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the Arts worked collaboratively to conduct archival research at the Modern Records Centre and Students’ Union Archive, and conducted interviews with current and former staff and students. The exhibition has been divided into six themes to build the narrative of how Arts students have experienced their time at 91¸£Àû, including Art & Architecture, Degree Timeline and an Interactive Campus Map.

Two new features about our digitised sound recordings have recently been added to our website:

	A guide to the regional and other accents represented in many interviews, mainly from the 1980s. In England the interviewees' birthplaces range from Devon to Durham, with particular concentrations in the west Midlands, Merseyside and the London docklands. Whilst these are mainly records of working-class speech, professional people such as senior civil servants and social workers also feature.
	An introduction to the distinctive soundtracks of the management training filmstrips published by the Industrial Society in the 1960s. These mini-dramas give a sometimes amusing picture of attitudes to workplace issues at the time. Prepare to encounter both appalling and exemplary behaviour.
