History

FACILITIES You’ll have access to a range of amazing facilities at the School of Culture and Communication to support your studies including: EGYPT CENTRE The Egypt Centre, Swansea University’s on-campus museum houses over 6,000 ancient artefacts, predominantly from Egypt, but also from regions around the Mediterranean. We offer students unique opportunities to learn through handling ancient objects. Students can also get involved in the running of the museum and gain valuable work experience in the heritage industry. ALLAN MILNE COLLECTION Swansea University Library has a large collection of books relating to the American Civil War, which aids study and research. The Milne Collection has approximately 4,000 books pertaining to the conflict, as well as the Sectional Crisis and Reconstruction Era. It was gifted in 2010 to the American Studies programme at Swansea University by Civil War enthusiast and educator Mr. Allan Milne, of Cardiff, and continues to grow. RICHARD BURTON ARCHIVES We are home to the archive of stage and screen star Richard Burton, which holds material of local, regional and national significance. Records of historical value are preserved in the archives and are accessible to all students.
