Aston University Archives buzzing today with History at Aston colleagues and students, and our archivist James Platt! Good things to come.

Seventy-five years ago this weekend Timothy Evans was hanged having confessed to the murder of his wife and child - but he hadn't killed them. Find out whether or why he confessed in our new 🎙️Writing Wrongs🎙️ podcast series #truecrime #linguistics youtube.com/shorts/uxcH3Iu…

And that is why we need to have multidisciplinary discussions about how to preserve knowledge NOW. Some coming soon Aston University Archives. Stay tuned. nature.com/articles/d4158…

A find from the Aston University Archives. The Uni's predecessor institution, the Birmingham Municipal Tech. School (1895-1927), ran a course in Railway Telegraphy in 1896-97. It's the first known instance of Aston or its predecessor orgs running a course for railway professionals.

Chuffed to report that Aston University Archives now have an The National Archives Sector ARCHON number and appear on Discovery! If you know nothing about #archives, this post might not move you right away; but if you do, especially in the UK, you know this is a wonderful milestone! Bottoms up!

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?

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!

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

Shedding light on one of our external researcher's family history: looking for her father who studied maths and physics at the Birmingham Municipal and Technical School in 1919. Cannot wait for her to see we found him indeed! Yet one more reason why archives hold a bit of magic.

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!

Have a look at our spiffed up webpage, complete with (rudimentary) inventory and "stories from the archives" by History at Aston students! aston.ac.uk/about/history/…
