It’s been one of the real pleasures of my job at Senate House Library to dig into the archive of UoL’s relationship with universities like UWI set up just before decolonisation - and to have the opportunity to put on this temporary display about it!
💭Did you know University of the West Indies was once closely connected to the University of London?
Here’s the Royal opening of their Senate House in Jamaica in 1953. Find out more in a display at our Senate House Library 📖

150 years ago today, Charles Kingsley - clergyman, historian, social reformer, novelist, & University of London graduate - passed away 📚 Senate House Library proudly holds first editions of his works, including The Water-Babies (1863), perhaps his most enduring.

Prof. Philip Murphy delivered a brilliantly insightful lecture, Time Come? Caribbean Decolonisation and the Monarchy, last night. I was delighted to discover audience member, @salinajaneart.bsky.social, had summarised the lecture in cartoon! The lecture was recorded and will be made available soon.
