Archives Annu ally around 33 classes from 15 Southwark primary schools book to visit the James Caird , lifeboat of explorer Ernest Shackleton, housed in The Laboratory at Dulwich College. With an average class of 30 children that’s over 1,000 children visiting each year.
Material from Dulwich College Archives has been loaned recently to the V&A and the British Library.
Dulwich College archivists give free talks to local groups and to schools – for example, the Wednesday Club at St Barnabas church, Dulwich. Information from Dulwich College Archives is provided free on a global basis. There are around 200 enquiries each year from external enquirers (poets, social researchers, researchers of books, TV, and film) for whom our archivists conduct research. Free access is provided to approximately 100 external researchers every year who come to the archive facility. Typical enquiries are about: Estate papers, PG Wodehouse, Shackleton, Local history, War Records, The Foundation Schools, Dulwich Alms Houses, Dulwich Picture Gallery and Christ’s Chapel, and for Dulwich College staff and pupils. Archivists and volunteers worked for four years to create www.dulwichcollege1914-18.co.uk, an online free archive of maps and papers relating to the 534 old Alleynians who fell in the Great War.
