Guild and Societies: Introduction

The University Archive contains a wealth of material relating to student representation and activities via an official Students' Union and Guild of Undergraduates. This display provides a snippet of the students' experience of the Guild throughout time, whether that be engaging with the building spaces, amenities, or societies. This engagement has been longstanding, too: Students’ Representative Councils were formed for both men and women in 1892. These councils then formally became part of the Guild of Undergraduates on its creation in 1904.
