Digitisation of the Archives

Digitisation of the Archives

This is a broad update on Digitization, as at the end of Semester 1, 2025. This will be updated as new information and access is received.

The Heritage Society is unaware of any previous digitisation efforts (though the MHSOB website suggests there has been initiative), thus we have been scanning from the beginning of our records. At the moment, we have limited to no access to the John Elden Heritage Rooms (main school archives), meaning our collection is limited to the Library STACK archive. This contains a complete set of Unicorns from the first publication in 1928, to the latest published copy (however with some missing, noteably copies from the late 1940s).

The Society is currently in the process of discussing access arrangements, and gaining databases or pre-existing digital records.

Thank you for your patience, as the Digital Archive is barely populated with a select few sources from the early years of the school. If you wish for any specific sources, please contact the society by email at contact@mhsheritage.org and we will do our best to fulfill any request.
