Archive services

Archive Services collects, preserves, and provides access to records created by staff and students of the University and their predecessors.

We act as the central point of information about the University’s history and welcome enquiries from students, staff and the wider community.

These pages will give you information about the records we hold (collections), about our history and how to research on significant themes (research guides) and how to access the collections (using the archive).

There are also links to digitised material (online resources) and information about the publications we are producing ahead of our 175th anniversary (University History Project). 

We hope to make our detailed archive catalogue available online in the near future. The Archive team can also provide additional support to University of Westminster staff and events – please see services to staff for more details.

We are actively building the collections, and are always interested in records transfers from staff or gifts and deposits from outside the University.

Contact us if you have material which you think might be of interest.

We are also recruiting former staff, students and Polytechnic members for our oral history programme – for more information see the University History Project pages or get in touch using the contact details below.
