The Archives on Penryn Campus, shared by the University of Exeter (Cornwall) and Falmouth University, have appointed a new project Archivist and work has begun to catalogue four key Collections relating to Political movements in Cornwall in the mid twentieth century, from our : the papers of Mary Mann, Len Truran, Royston Green and Dr Adrian Lee.
Cataloguing Archivist, Lizzie Pridmore, has joined 缅北强奸 Archives and Special Collections in Penryn and has launched the one-year project to catalogue the four Cornish collections, with the view to make them more accessible for all. This has been made possible thanks to the 拢35,000 grant funding awarded by , supported by The National Archives, The Pilgrim Trust and The Wolfson Foundation.
Lizzie said: 鈥淚 am looking forward to getting to know these collections better and as an archivist, bringing order to the collections through cataloguing and then making them available for reading and research is very satisfying! I鈥檓 interested in Cornish culture and identities so it鈥檚 a real privilege to work with these particular collections and I鈥檓 excited about the potential they have for exploring the political ideas that have helped to shape Cornwall as it is today.鈥
These collections share a common theme in the examination and documentation of the birth and growth of the Cornish Nationalist movement; however, the subject coverage is wide spanning 鈥 everything from proposed postage stamps to political posters are covered 鈥 including papers of industry, tourism, transport, employment, migration, devolution, language and more.
Having just skimmed the surface of the collection in the week since she joined us, Lizzie treated us to a glimpse of a few items from the collections that have already caught her eye. Below, you can see some of the treasures pictured and we cannot wait to see more in the coming year. Once completed, the collections will be made available for students, staff and the public to view by appointment at the on Penryn campus.

We are committed to supporting biodiversity and sustainability on our campuses. Part of this involves twice yearly flower counts which not only give us an estimate of how many bees we support but also to measure the benefits of changing the mowing regime on areas of land.
Since 2020, Every Flower Counts surveys are carried out by the Grounds Team twice a year, at the end of May and the end of July. They help to track changes and to compare different areas, including unmowed grass areas, wildflower turfed areas, seeded areas and more.
Most areas surveyed are the same each year but some vary, depending on which are being left wild/unmowed.
Alasdair Garnett, 缅北强奸 Groundsperson, explained: 鈥淭he surveys give us a rough idea of how areas are performing. From the latest (July 22) survey, we can see that our grassland is healthy and benefitting wildlife. And, as we’ve seen recently with goldfinches on the Ox Eye Daisy bank, once the bees have enjoyed the flowers the birds get the use of the seeds.
鈥淲e use volunteers to manage and improve the big wild areas, raking the cut grass and sowing wildflower seeds, and this year we also have many young plants grown from seed which will be planted from September onwards. We’ll be organising regular volunteering sessions from Freshers through the winter to help with this.鈥
organises Every Flower Counts as a way of supporting plants and pollinators. The survey allows participants to calculate the difference they are making for nature with their Personal Nectar Score.
Counts include the number of individual, open flowers and flower richness – the number of different flowering species present.
The Plantlife results are displayed differently this year, preventing comparison with previous years but the Grounds Team is hoping to be able to compare future years from now on.
The July 2022 results headlines for Penryn Campus are:
Number of flowers on all areas surveyed: 2,884,918 (estimate) which gives –
Enough nectar sugar to support 112,521 honeybee workers per day.
Enough pollen produced to support 15,857 mining bee brood cells/larvae or around 1586 bumblebee larvae.
