Two colleagues and I were there to build ideas for our upcoming MOOC – more on that in a later post once all is good to go! We met with one of the archivists – a treasure herself – who had gathered some of the items associated with the vet school which she thought might inspire us.
There was much excitement – such that I couldn’t possibly convey by post. I can still see A standing with an item in their hand saying “that can’t possibly be part of a stethoscope!”, and the general air of unwrapping presents each time the archivist opened another box.
I had to share the fun, so it’s become my first post to the blog 🙂
