Our West Indian collection of documents, housed in the Main Library, contains rare and valuable material on the region, and is constantly used by researchers worldwide. Our Archaeology Centre is engaged in the excavation, cataloguing, and preservation of Caribbean artefacts for the benefit of today’s and future generations. Our student-run History Society publishes “The Revolution”, a cutting-edge newsletter disseminating original, student, historical work, and leads exciting events throughout the year that bring history alive for our campus community.
