Fellows and Staff (ANN/FS)

This section of the archive is currently uncatalogued. Please find a summary below. 

Staff Files – Records of academic and support staff, mainly covering their appointment and contractual details, although some contain more detailed correspondence. Only a selection has been retained for the archive with an emphasis on Honorary, Emeritus and Supernumerary Fellows. More recent files are mostly held digitally.

Staff Files are only available for research after the death of the subject or when more than a hundred years have passed since their date of birth.
