Welcome to the TWU Archives online finding aid. The database currently contains descriptions of photographs, textual (paper) records, and audio-visual materials, which have been processed and described - or catalogued - by archival staff. Lists of materials not yet added to the database, such as books, as well as brief inventories of unprocessed records, are available from the Archivist.
The photographs, which document the history of the University from its founding in 1961 to the present day, number approximately 5,000. The 100 metres of textual records are comprised of university materials as well as special collections and private fonds.
