We've been having a play on the @HE_Archive of aerial photos this morning - look at this 2006 photo showing our Southwark campus! Lots of changes since then: https://t.co/5JZ17MtNFo

Thank you! We're very pleased to have moved to being a fully Accredited service, it's a big achievement for a small service like us!

[Melinda Haunton @melindahaunton]

A lot of Accredited Archive Services also came in for their regular review, and a special shoutout to @LSBUArchives and @SuffolkArchives for moving from a provisional status to the full award. It's so great to see archives thriving since first Accredited.

It includes this great photo of the Borough Road building decorated for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth - they went all out!

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

Interested in how @LSBU has marked previous coronations? Then we have the perfect blog post for you!

@CClements29 Of course!

But sometimes it can just come down to the thrill of holding a piece of history, that person’s actual writing! There’s really too many reasons #WhyArchives are great!

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

The last day of #Archive30 and it’s #WhyArchives
So why? Archives are the record, they help us understand what happened and why, they can be used to hold organisations to account (eg public inquiries need archives). They can also be fun - we’re definitely not always serious!

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

#Archive30 today is #ArchiveGoals and ours is very simple - more people using our archives! This week we had a great student visit and we’d love to see more of them (and not just students!).
Interested in the history of @LSBU and its campuses past and present? Come and visit!

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

If you visit the Archives it's hard to miss the huge clock in the reading room - it's the biggest item in the collection! So of course we had to choose it for #SomethingBig #Archive30

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

One example of #HealthArchives in our collections is this "Birth Atlas", given as a gift to nurse-midwives at the Queen's Institute of District Nursing from the Maternity Center Association in New York City. It's part of our Redwood College of Health archives #Archive30

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

#SomethingNew is our latest accession, the notes of Lawrence Hadley OBE who was one of the first Building Services Engineering students @LSBU and later President of @CIBSE
They'll be fully catalogued and available for researchers soon! #Archive30

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

What better for #YourWorkplace than to use a photograph of the Archives Reading Room? It's up on Level 3 of the Hub - why not make an appointment to pay us a visit?
#Archive30

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

#FavouriteItem is too hard - is it student magazines? Is it the stories in the WW1 roll of honour? Or the records that show women breaking new ground in studying engineering? We can’t decide! What’s yours? #archive30

[LSBU Archives @LSBUArchives]

We have some great examples of #ArchiveTravel from the National Bakery School's annual trips to look at European baking! The scrapbook of their travels covers 1955-1963, and includes photos and details of the various towns and cities they visited #Archive30
