Help to Save the Broadlands Archives
The Broadlands Archives have been on loan to the University of Southampton since 1989 and are one of the most important manuscript collections in their care. The Trustees of the Broadlands Archives have determined to sell the collection and have offered it to the University. The expectation is that if negotiations fail, the collection will be sold at auction, and may well be broken up and dispersed, with many parts not finding places in public repositories. The University is undertaking a major fund-raising campaign to the sum of £2.85 million to assure the future of the collection.
