Mile End Library: The Archives Reading Room
About this event

Drop in to the Archives Reading Room in Mile End Library to delve into the world of QMUL's black alumni, dating back to the 1950s!

With a collection of photographs, newspapers and student cards, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the lives of students from Queen Mary's past. This will include a special spotlight on Orlando Marville, a black 1950s alumnus who went on to become an Ambassador for Barbados. 

Please reach out to archives@qmul.ac.uk for access requirements, questions and curiosities and we hope to see you there!
