Some big changes are on the way for Special Collections.
I (Alison) will be leaving the University at Christmas to take on the role of Head of Collections at Durham Cathedral. I am sad to leave Bradford and grateful for the many opportunities I have had there. However the new role is too wonderful to pass up and I am thrilled to work with manuscripts, early printed books and objects in their historic, distinctive setting. Martin is also moving on, taking up a subject librarian role in the J.B. Library: he has been a huge asset to the team and will be much missed.
We are hoping to minimise disruption to the service during these changes. We are already recruiting a new archivist and are hoping to have someone in post as soon as possible. If you’re planning to visit us in 2019, please contact us on special-collections@bradford.ac.uk so we can keep in touch with you about the prospects for your visit.
