A group of people are shown sitting at a large table in a reading room. They are cleaning yellow registration cards using dry sponges.

Some yellow registration cards. The top one gives details of Miss Mary Clarke, a clerk studying for her matriculation in Inorganic Chemistry, Biology and French in 1935.

We've been delighted to work with a group of post-graduate English students who have been conserving student registration cards from our predecessor institution Battersea Polytechnic.
It's been fascinating to uncover some of the stories of these students from our history. 🙂

The Abbey's muniment collection - or archive - is one of the oldest in England. The documents we care for, from royal charters to estate papers and administrative records from the medieval monastery, chart life at the Abbey since the 10th century.

Despite being called a museum, we estimate that 60-70% of our collection is in fact books and archive. We are one of two archives of Met history, the other being the National Archives, which took all Met central records until 2000. #ExploreYourArchive #EYAYourArchive

We bring EYA Focus Week 2025 to a close with #EYAYourArchive! We were only able to choose a handful of our favourite items for this year's Focus Week, so we're using this opportunity to share a few more.
