Microcomputers and Works tat ion

At the Strand, on the mezzanine floor offA-corridor, there are networks of 9 IBMPS/2s (in room 24AA) and 8 MacintoshlIs (24AF), and rooms dedicated tohumanities computing (24AD) andcomputer gmphics (24AB). The IBM andMacinto h network support spread hcctand database applications and they maybe used for document production, rangingfrom simple word processing to full-scaledesk-top publishing, including theproduction of charts and diagrams.

The humanities computing room containsboth IBM and Macinto h mi rocomput requipped with software of particularimportance to staff and postgraduates inthe humanities departments; and textscanners are available for convertingprinted texts into electronic form forsubsequent computer processing. In thegraphic computing laboratory a clu ter ofVAX workstations provides facilities forrunning highly interactive graphicalprograms such as CAD/CAM packages.At Ken ington, there is a network of 12

imbus PC-186s ; it may be used forword processing, spreadshccts and theproduction of charts and diagrams.

The College Archives, Liddell HartCentre for ilitary Archives and theLibrary Manuscripts are administeredjointly by the College Archivi t and hertaff. Consultation of all three collections

is by prior appointment in the Archivesreading room.

College Archives

The College Archives house the recordsof King's College London which are ofhistorical interest and/or continuingadministrative value. The recordschronicle the sometimes stonny history ofthe College from its foundations to thepresent day and together with the archivesof Chelsea and Queen Elizabeth Collegesand their predecessor bodies, King'sCollege of Household and Social Scienceand the South Western and ChelseaPolytechnics, constitute an invaluablesource for educational, scientific andsocial historians.

Among the most significant records heldare the minute books of the governingbodies and major committees of all threeColleges; an unbroken series of lettersreceived by the Principal and Secretary ofKing's College during the 19th century;20th century policy files and a substantialseries of financial records. The member­ship of the College, past and present, isreflected in a regularly updated set ofstudent records for the three Collegesfrom their respective foundations and auseful series of modem personnel files.These are supplemented by the archivesof a number of faculties and departmentsand collections of private and researchpapers presented or left to the College bymembers of staff or fonner students.Much useful printed material is also held,including calendars, prospectuses andCollege magazines, and an ever growingcollection of prints, engravings andphotographs provides a useful pictorialrecord. Significant material relating toKing's College Hospital, BelgraveChildren's Hospital, King's CollegeSchool and the Strand School is alsoincluded. A very important collection, isthe archive for The League for Democ­racy in Greece and its successor organisa­tion, The Friends of Democracy in Greecewhich fonns an invaluable source for thehistory of Greece after World War n.

Advice on the use of the material can

always be obtained from the staff al­though it is advisable to make an appoint­ment fu l. Conditions of a cess are setout in the leaflet otesfor Readers.obtainable from the reading room. Someclasses of records, chiefly student andtaff files are closed for an extended

period of years to protect the priva yofnamed individuals. Staff of the Archiveswill always be pleased to be con ultedabout the disposition of records includingphotographs and tapes, and will provideguidance about the establishment of filingsystems, the selection of materialssuitable for preservation in the Archivesand, where nece sary, the di posal ofconfidential waste paper. Two guidanceleaflets, How to Deposit Records in theArchives and How To Get Them Back andFaculty and Departmental Checklist. maybe obtained from the Archives

Liddell Hart Centre for MilitaryArchives

The Centre holds the private papers ofover 350 senior defence personnel whoheld office in this century and newcollections are accruing at the raLe of 30­40 a year. Individual collections range insize from a single file to the 1,000 boxesof Sir Basil Liddell Hart's papers and mayinclude diaries, personal correspondence,copies of official papers, unpublishedmemoirs, photographs and press cULtings.Also available is a growing collection ofmicrofilms of primarily American officialdocuments relating to defence.

The scope of the holdings is vasL, fromhigh level defence policy and strategicplanning as, for example, in the papers ofFM Viscount Alanbrooke and GeneralLord Ismay down to the command ofindividual units in the field. The BoerWar is strongly represenLed and thereafteralmost every major campaign in whichBritish troops were involved falls withinthe collection's parameters, up to andincluding the Cyprus crisis in the 1960s.

Many significant collections reflccl therevolution in weapon technology thiscentury and the re-evaluation of tacticsand strategy which necessarily followedon from the invention of the tank and thedevelopmenL of air power. In the post­war world debate is centred on the nuclearissue and in the papers of AVM SWBMenaul the clash of conflicting theories

and up urge of public altention can beexplored.

The full holding of the Centre aredescribed in a Consolidated List ofAccessions. 1986, and a Supplement, 19(a ailable from the Centre at £3.50 and£1.50 respectively). A leaflet, Informa­tionfor Readers. outline conditions ofaccess.

Work in preparation in the Centre in­cludes a major guide to the locations andcoment of the papers of senior defencepersonnel who served this century and thecompilation of a nuclear history database.

Library Manuscripts Collection

Staff of the Centre also administer theLibrary Manuscripts Collection compris­ing research material gathered by scholarsconnected with the College and embrac­ing such disparate subjects as Portugueseliterature and Gennan jurisprudence. Thecollection is of literary, historical andscientific interest and is de cribed inManuscripts and Private Papers: A SelectGuide, 1982, available from the Cenlre.
