Deja vu! Started listing a new collection and immediately find myself back where I started - with T.E. Lawrence!

The Lee Angas papers contain this list of Magdalen members serving in WW1 including Lawrence as a second lieutenant in Egypt in Dec 1914

See my latest blog post to find out what happened when we discovered some mysterious tapes in the Wilson archive!

Spoiler: it involves a story about a monkey and Lawrence with his hair full of pine needles...

My latest blog post on magazines from the Wilson archive is now online.

Illustrated papers show how the First World War was seen by contemporary audiences, with a mixture of illustrations of the trenches and adverts for male corsets!

Finding some gems in the Wilson digital archive including this (slightly illegible) letter from Jock Chambers:

"You my dear Jeremy 'are a one' as the elderly waitress said to TE when we were having grub in Corfe".
