An amazing friend of the Archives @BishopsgateInst has donated every copy of the legendary Drummer magazine! I can’t say how chuffed we are! Perhaps the only full run in the UK?

This week has been a whirlwind of student tours @BishopsgateInst. We love (on many occasions) being students' first experience of an archive & seeing them come away thoroughly inspired. OK, I suppose we're not your normal archive....let us know if you want to bring a group in...
