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!
