Special Collections & Archives
The University's Special Collections and Archives holds some stunning examples of work by former students, including this nature diary made by Hilda Millar in 1922 (ref: FACS/9/5/56). In it she records seasonal observations of the trees, plants, fungi, birds and wildlife on campus, beautifully illustrated with watercolour paintings, sketches and photographs – some of which depict scenes that are still recognisable today.
