Every term the Archive Centre creates a new online exhibition. As Mother's Day in Britain falls at the end of the Lent term (26 March), the archivists have chosen 'Mothers of Kingsmen' as the subject of their latest exhibition.

🌳You may have seen that we had to bid farewell to our wonderful beech tree last month. It may seem odd to feel such a sense of loss about a tree, but this wasn't any old beech! The Bodley's beech had been a fixture on the King’s landscape for over 180 years! We've loved receiving all of your of your fond memories, photos and artwork of the Bodley's beech, including a recollection from a certain Zadie Smith (KC 1994)! These have all been added to our Shorthand site about the project (🔗in bio). Here's our very own Visitor Guide @Joseph_Nutman with his beautiful poem "On the felling of Bodley's beech". Do you have any special memories of our beech tree? 📸: © Martin Bond @acambridgediary et al. @wallacetimberservices #BeechTree #NaturePhotography #PoetryInNature #CambridgeUniversity
