Records relating to students held in the Institutional Archive

The following is a fairly rough list of records relating to students held in our collections.  There are different types of information in the various series of records and there are significant gaps in coverage.  Looking for a particular student can be frustrating as – apart from UCSWM – there are no centralised indices to search.

There are restrictions on access to the personal data contained in some of these records.
