The MGS Archives are housed at the heart of the School, near main reception in a room that used to be the Junior Library and before that the “cages” of coat pegs. There is plenty of wall space for displays and we have just had some new panels installed which give a brief chronological history of the School from foundation to the present day.
It was a challenge to condense over five hundred years of history into seven panels. A timeline at the top of each panel anchors the display, giving the viewer a sense of chronology, whilst the rest of the text gives a brief description of each “era” and an anecdote or memory of the time.
Here are some photographs of the panels:
Please do come and visit us in School to take a closer look.
