You are here!  

30 Oct 2024

The Library opens its new display, ‘You are Here!’ on Wednesday, 30 October in Blue Ground, Main Library.

In this exhibition, you will find objects relating to some of the spaces and places that our students have inhabited over the past 200 years. 

The items in the exhibition are drawn from across the Library’s Special Collections, in particular The University of Manchester Archives and the Map Collection. They provide insights into the development of our University campus, of different attitudes towards race and gender, and of new ways of student living. They contain stories of innovation, struggle, connection, protest and belonging expressed by our University community. Together, they form an important part of the story of Manchester’s changing cultural and physical landscape. 

You are Here! runs from 30 October to February 2025, at Blue Ground in Main Library. Free entry.
