This is heartbreaking, and you'd think that its sight alone would suffice as a shield against reckless demolitions... still hoping someone, somewhere in there will listen and save what can be saved.

The newly opened Aston University Archives holds student record books for 1893-94, 1894-95 and 1897-98. They detail students' occupations, employers, where they lived and courses. 56 railway workers attended the BMTS in this period, and I have plotted where they lived.

Call to all, esp. #Birmingham area: we have old SONY U-matic S SP video cassettes, which we believe may contain valuable material relating to the history of the university. Do you have, or do you know who might have, a machine that can play them?

‘Researching Stylistics’, written by members of the Aston Stylistics Research Group is now available for pre-order with a publication date of September 2025! routledge.com/Researching-St…

Wonderful to see up the exhibition by History at Aston, curated by Brian Sudlow (Aston), and realised together with Aston University Archives! Email [email protected] for guided tours!

Loved being involved in this #railway200 event! Thank you Dr David Turner and to all who joined us! Looking forward to more to come!

Open for a month on the Aston campus. Email Aston University Archives at [email protected] for guided tours!

Saving Station Street is about opportunity. For regeneration. For tourism. For employment. For celebrating Birmingham. For Brummies.

15th May: check out the history of Aston University exhibition in the middle of campus that was launched today. Follow the voices of the University's last 130 via the QR codes

Birmingham. You deserve a Station Street at the heart of a world leading arts quarter. You deserve better than seeing The Old Rep alone alongside a closed down Electric Cinema & Crown Pub. It's OUR story of a street that defined 20th Century pop culture globally. Demand better.

Please do not hesitate to contact me and/or Aston University Archives if you would like a guided tour and/or if you have questions!

Great congrats from me and from all of History at Aston to our splendid colleagues and partners in Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies. Loved our chats about historical aspects and relevance of what they do, to many more to come! youtube.com/watch?v=LPbnhG…

Love it when people from the community realise these are their archives too.

Hoping this call will be heard, and also strengthened by others to save landmarks such as the Crown and other key sites in music history. Time to give Birmingham some loving! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

1/3 Have you seen the Aston@130 exhibition outside the Library building to celebrate 130 years of education at Aston since our historical inception as a civic institution in Birmingham?

Indeed! Signed: Former international student and scholar in the US, outraged at how colleagues are being treated; and proud academic cheering for Harvard University to save the integrity and the dignity of the lot.

Really good news - a reprieve for Music at Cardiff University. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

First was the fragment of a spine found somewhere... next thing you know, turns out we have the whole series of this journal in great condition!

And that is why people should be taught since nursery school to defend the integrity of the processes through which documents are preserved and accessed. May this alert all (everywhere!) about the importance of education in what archives/archivists/historians are and do.
