Exploring what fragmentary sources from the Magdalen archives can tell us about the lives and identities of some of College’s students and staff since the nineteenth century. This exhibition emerges from the work of five student interns whose diverse skills and perspectives shape the stories we tell. By uncovering these histories, we seek to contribute to on-going conversations about the actions we can all take to make a welcoming and inclusive community at Magdalen, in Oxford, and beyond.

This exhibition is also available to visit online.
