Those of you who frequently read the ‘Newsam News‘ may have already encountered my blogs regarding donations from student alumni.

I recently received a donation from Sir Peter Newsam- Part 1 of his autobiography ‘The Autobiography of an education’ .  This donation is of special significance and value to us at the Newsam Library and Archives,  as Sir Peter is the former director of the institute and was a key proponent of the library securing it’s home here in 1993- hence our name. Part 1 has now been added to our library catalogue so can be borrowed and the good news is that I’ve just received Part 2 so this will also shortly be available for loan.
