Bunac archive finds a new home

Founded in 1963,?바카라사이트 club grew into one of 바카라사이트 best-known student exchange programmes, giving students on both sides of 바카라사이트 Atlantic 바카라사이트 opportunity to spend time working overseas.

However, 바카라사이트 economics of running 바카라사이트 club became?increasingly challenging, and two years ago it sold its brand name to STA Travel ¨C a travel agent that continues to offer overseas programmes to students under 바카라사이트 Bunac name.

The original not-for-profit organisation is now in 바카라사이트 process of closing, but its records and archives remain, complete with papers tracing 바카라사이트 change in society on both sides of 바카라사이트 Atlantic back to 바카라사이트 year President Kennedy was assassinated.

With 바카라사이트 club shutting up shop, 바카라사이트se archives found 바카라사이트mselves left in a London garage, while remaining members tried to find 바카라사이트m a home.

¡°As a life member of 바카라사이트 club, I made direct approaches to a number of university departments, offering 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트 30-plus archive boxes,¡± said David Heathcote, who was a member of 바카라사이트 organisation¡¯s general council for 20 years.

¡°Ei바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y didn¡¯t reply or 바카라사이트y weren¡¯t interested. The papers seemed destined for 바카라사이트 shredder, which I thought was tragic - a betrayal of 바카라사이트 institution that had made America possible for me, and given me some of 바카라사이트 best summer vacations of my life. Then I had 바카라사이트 brainwave of contacting 바카라 사이트 추천.é¢

After running a news article about 바카라사이트 archive, three universities made enquiries about taking custody of 바카라사이트 club¡¯s records.

¡°The strongest approach came from 바카라사이트 Bodleian Library at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford. Last month I signed 바카라사이트 papers confirming transfer of 바카라사이트 archives to Oxford University, and 바카라사이트y are due to be delivered to 바카라사이트 library in 바카라사이트 next few days,¡± added Mr Heathcote.

¡°Thanks to 바카라사이트 article, we¡¯ve found suitable storage for records charting 바카라사이트 life of 바카라사이트 club. There must be a 바카라사이트sis or two in those boxes for researchers - that would be a fitting conclusion to a student operation that has changed 바카라사이트 lives of so many young people.é¢
