A photograph of the outside of Churchill Archives Centre, framed against a blue sky. "The Centre's "powerful verticals, continuing those which front the Bracken Library [...] lend a magisterial presence. These soaring concrete mullions (echoing those found on the Dining Hall windows) convey a sense of security while also echoing the ordered rows of shelves – library and archival – within the building."

This year, undergraduates Aaron Tan and Davina Wang, curated an online exhibition on the history of the architectural design of Churchill. This included our lovely #ArchiveBuilding. Here's what they wrote about it:

#Archive30

It’s a late one today 🙈#ArchiveBuilding #GRI archives pop up all over the country 🇬🇧 @NHSGGCArchives @UofGlasgow @rcpsglasgow @ExploreWellcome #Archive30

Having spent much of last year preparing from the move out of one #ArchiveBuilding, the archive service is currently based at the historic North Wing, @BartsHospital. Archives have been housed in tbe basement since at least the early 19th c. #Archive30

#Archive30 #ArchiveBuilding Schon ein bisschen kitschig...😍😉 #Spring #cherryblossom

Today's #Archive30 theme is #archivebuilding. The two @BHAandM #archives are in very different buildings- the @bartshospital North Wing, & 9 Prescot Street. Managing the building environment helps preserve the collections - hence the huge a/c unit & pest monitoring in our stores!
