#explorearchives For your dissertation

History finalist Rob Allan is using original diaries held in the Archives as source material for his dissertation. Written during the First World War by Septimus Bennett (brother of the author Arnold Bennett) the diaries describe life and work in and around a Sheffield munitions factory. Rob says “Archives are allowing me to explore individual experiences. Using the diaries alongside secondary sources is giving me a better idea of what this period was really like.”

Finalists: books for library fines

If you are in your final year at Keele and have any outstanding Library fines, we would be willing to accept book donations against the value of these.

• Any books offered should be in good condition and cited on reading lists;
• We reserve the right not to accept books and wouldn't offer more than a third of the value of the book when new;
• We are unable to give out cash but would offset the amount offered against the value of any Library fines you may still owe.

Please go to the counters at either the Campus or Health Libraries if you would like more details.
