With a title like: Birmingham: A Drone's Eye View you have to take the selfie with a drone that took the photos. You can order the book now from bookshops and internet suppliers worldwide. Publishes 22 November. @birminghamschool.bsky.social @astonunarchives.bsky.social @unibirmingham.bsky.social

First was the fragment of a spine found somewhere... next thing you know, turns out we have the whole series of this journal in great condition!

Love it when people realise these are their archives too.
Shedding light on one of our external researcher's family history: looking for her father who studied maths and physics at the Birmingham Municipal and Technical School in 1919. Cannot wait for her to see we found him indeed! Yet one more reason why archives hold a bit of magic.

Call to all, esp. #Birmingham area: we have old SONY U-matic S SP video cassettes, which we believe may contain valuable material relating to the history of the university. Do you have, or do you know who might have, a machine that can play them?

Chuffed to report that @astonunarchives.bsky.social now have an ARCHON number and appear on Discovery! If you know nothing about #archives, this post might not move you right away; but if you do, especially in the UK, you know this is a wonderful milestone! People can now find us! Bottoms up!
