Overhaul of Refugee Archive Online Resources
This is a quick posting to let everyone know that there will now be a limited output on the Refugee Archive at UEL blogs over the next few months. this is to enable us to undertake a review of our online presence and to make some necessary changes and upgrades, and hopefully some improvements too, to our online presence.
Many apologies in advance for the reduced service but we hope to have a new and revised online presence available in time for the start of the new academic year in August/September 2009.
Many thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Yours Sincerely,
Paul Dudman
Archivist.
CARA Archive at UEL
This is a brief introductory message to draw youe attention to the important work being underataken by CARA, the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics and to provide information in regard to the availability of their Archive.
CARA was originaly founded in 1933 as the Academic Assistance Council in order to help support academics who facing persecution within their home country. In light of the international situation at the time, in 1936 the Academic Assistance Council re-formed itself as the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL) and continued to play a hugely important role supporting refugee academics and defending academic freedom. Further details on the history of CARA can be found on their website here – http://www.academic-refugees.org/history.asp – and also in the launch of a recent book to celebrate 75 years of the organisation entitled “The Refuge and the Fortress: Britain and the flight from Tyranny” By Jeremy Seabrook. Please contact CARA if you would like to purchase this book and copies are available for consultation here at the Refugee Archive.
We are pleased to say that we are currently working with CARA to make their Archive of modern records available. The Archive has now arrived at UEL and the next stage is for us to accession and catalogue the material and once this is complete, then decisions can be made in regard to how best to enable access to the collection. Obviously these decisions will need to made with due consideration to the Data Protection Acr and with full consultation with CARA.
In the meantime, I would also like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the CARA Archive collection which is held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. This collection covers the dates between 1933 and 1987. Further information can be found both on the CARA website and by following this link – http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/online.htm – to the Bodeian Library website. To access the Archive, you will first need to contact the CARA office at: info.cara@lsbu.ac.uk or call 020 7021 0880.
Further updates to this posting will be available in due course.

Refugee Archives – Changes to Opening Hours and Staff Availability
This is a quick note just to update everyone on some forthcoming changes to the opening hours and staffing arrangements for the Refugee Archives and to detail the Saturday Opening timetable for Semester B.
There are three main strands to this message and these will be detailed as follows:
1). Due to unforeseen circumstances, Paul Dudman, (the Archivist), will be away from the office for a two week period between Monday 2nd February and Friday 13 February. A reduced Archive service will therefore operate during this period and please enquire at the Library Enquiry Desk for further information, (Tel: 020 8223 3434).
2) From Monday 16rh February when Paul Dudman returns to the Archive, he will only be available in the Archive during the normal office hours on Mondays (9am-6pm) ; Tuesdays (10am-7pm) ; and Wednesdays (9am-6pm). For al day on Thursday and on Friday mornings until 1pm, the Archive will be managed by a member of Library Staff subject to staff availability. Please bear in mind it might take a little longer to answer your enquiries so please be patient.
3) The initial plan for Saturday openings in Semester B will be to open the Archive on the dates listed below. Hopefully there will not be any changes to this list but it is still provisional until I can confirm the dates on my return. I will let you know as soon as possible when the official dates are know.
The provisional dates are therefore as follows:
Saturday 21 February : 10am-5pm
Saturday 21 March : 10am-5pm
Saturday 28 March: 10am-5pm
April No Saturday Opening Possible.
Saturday 9 May : 10am- 5pm
Saturday 16 May : 10am – 5pm.
