It's been a little while since we've put together an update - and that's been caused by the University being quite busy. We've also been working quite hard on the collection getting prepared to have the space open.<\/p>\n

We've moved the whole collection around on campus, and have been cataloguing what we have, which is taking quite some time to do.<\/p>\n

\"many
We have many keyboards!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"A
Brenell mark 5 reel tape recorder - we think from 1959.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We've even found some older equipment that still bears our own departmental labelling.
\nWe haven't had a media resources department at the University for quite some while!<\/p>\n
