This special event features a heritage tour of the University's campus followed by a behind the scenes visit to the University Archive to see some of our most impressive University-related holdings.

The tour begins in the Old Quadrangle amongst some of the University's oldest and finest building with the story of the University's origins during Manchester's industrial revolution. The tour then moves around the campus to explore how ideas and discoveries at the University shaped the modern world. Visitors explore how the University developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, how nuclear physics began with the splitting of the atom on campus and the foundations of modern computing were laid in the building in the building almost next door.

The tour will then visit the University Archive to see some of our most impressive holdings including images and documents relating the University's early history.

Booking is essential: http://universityheritagetourwitharchivevisit.eventbrite.co.uk

The walking tour section is outside and lasts around 1 hour. The visit to the University archive lasts approximately 40 minutes
