NEW HOME FOR THE ARCHIVE

The School’s Archive was re-located over the summer and Dr Chris O’Brien, retired former Head of Maths, has returned to oversee this important area, on a part-time basis

Chris recently put his knowledge of and interest in the School’s history to good use, unearthing memorabilia from the Queen’s visit in 1962 in preparation for the arrival of a film crew from ITV News Central. Several OWs were interviewed about their memories of this special day - more about this in Wulfrunian 2022!

Our warm thanks to Simon May (OW 1978), retired Head of Classics and Archivist Emeritus at St Paul’s School, for taking the time to visit in June. Simon provided valuable insight and recommendations around the storage, management and recording of documents and other materials of historical and cultural importance to WGS. Thanks also to Brandon Taylor (OW 2021), for helping to catalogue archive materials over the summer.

If you have an archive-related query or wish to donate an item to the Archive, please contact Chris by email: archive@wgs-sch.net
