Special Collections:

The Aldrich Library has an extensive collection of British and international company reports. It also has an Economic Data Collection including OECD economic surveys and Financial Times special reports.

The Michael Aldrich Archive was donated to the Aldrich Library in 2009 for the purposes of teaching, learning, scholarship and research. Covering the period 1977-2000, the Archive is held in both digitised and hard copy media. The Archive will be open to the public through the internet from December 2009.

Consisting mainly of original material from Michael Aldrich’s personal papers with some newly written pieces the Michael Aldrich Archive does not seek to chronicle a 38 year career in IT. It merely counterpoints the peak of the old industrialized electronic data processing based on batch processing in the workplace with the beginning of IT on the desktop in the workplace and in the home and one man’s involvement in both between 1977 and 2000.
