For five years, the Archive Centre at King's presented monthly selections of documents from the Archives. These allow you to find out about the history of King's and more generally the history of the times the documents were produced. The Archive of the Month was replaced with a new format of online exhibitions in February 2015. These will be updated less frequently but offer a closer look at the chosen subject.
If you have any queries about the documents, or would like to visit the Archive Centre, please contact the Archivist (tel: 01223 331444; email: ).
