New acquisitions from Claremont Complex – part 2

A few more of the items that have come out of the woodwork during the big tidy-up of Claremont Complex as per previous post. Not sure if we will want to keep everything but all are up for consideration for inclusion in the Collection or displays. Then comes the job of cataloguing them all….

A bit of an odd one… but we just don’t get this kind of quality from our suppliers any more ! Great little folder, pad and gel pen. Probably not that old. We can use it in SB6 for writing notes 🙂 – rescued by AMD from one of the recycle bins!!

 

New acquisitions from Claremont Complex – part 1

After many decades working in Claremont Tower and Bridge, Newcastle University’s central IT team are to move to new accommodation on Monday, 8th October. We’ve all been encouraged to clean out our ‘junk’ before the move. A few weeks ago, I reminded staff to be careful with throwing out ‘junk’ in case any of it was a potential artefact that could be included in the Collection. Here’s what came out of the woodwork…. (I’ve split this into 2 posts because there are so many images and things were getting unwieldy whilst I was trying to upload them)…
