New home and collecting together

Posted in: History ETA

equipment in van

Today we had a bit of a change today on campus.
We moved our entire archive from deep storage from various places across the campus, and rolled it into the Archive's new home - where it's now all together.

We're very pleased that we now have display cabinets built, and a large 4 bay additional storage space to use.
We also have some displays already built, and working for visitors to use!

equipment in van

We broke out our electric van, and filled it to the top with equipment, and moved it all across the campus.

trolley full of equipment

It also required us to load quite a few trolley loads to get the equipment to the space.

All we have to do now is decide where things go!
