Today we officially launch our 'Rag Rag' collection of student magazines. This collection reflects the prejudices of the era in which it was created, and some items include content which is offensive, oppressive and may cause upset. Find out more here: rylandscollections.com/2022/04/08/our…

Our first online University Heritage collection is now accessible through the Manchester Digital Collections. It is a challenging collection in many ways, but one that tells an important story about student life and popular culture in the 20th century. Content warnings apply.

Latest word is 114 of us have protested against the planning application for a 26-storey tower suffocating the Briton's Protection pub, with just 3 in favour. WE NEED MORE to protect the Protection! Please object on this webpage BY 17 APRIL at the latest! pa.manchester.gov.uk/online-applica…

'Georeferencer' is an incredible resource for unlocking our vast map collection. Here, we're using it to research our university's founding, at the Bridgewater Arms pub, using Green's 1794 map. #WhereYouStarted Explore historic Manchester for yourself at manchester.georeferencer.com/compare

Fantastic review for @mcjackdean's Jeremiah 😊

This exhibition looks fantastic - Ernest and Shena Simon were hugely influential figures in the development of the University of Manchester as well as the 'garden city' of Wythenshawe. The exhibition is also co-curated by the university's Dr Martin Dodge. Well worth a visit!

Grant Collier on the tension of sharing collections containing sensitive or controversial material: high propensity to impact and educate, and high risk of offense or discomfort. Grant's passion shining through! #UMLTogether22

Thoughtful insights from Charlotte Hoare and Grant Collier when dealing with controversial collections #UMLTogether22 UoM Library

Just had a brilliant session on class in the library at #UMLTogether22. Made me reflect on my own journey to the 'middle class university', and all the unwritten rules I've had to learn. Work continues to widen participation and break down barriers!

Followed by a brilliant talk on the Magic Lantern and the Christian Brethren archive by Dr Grant Collier #TeachRylands
