About Us

The Edge Hill University archive is the repository for the print and visual history of the institution from its foundation. We also hold, and are actively seeking, collections that support the teaching, learning and research interests of the university. Founded in 1885 as the first non-denominational teacher training college for women, Edge Hill would go on to deliver a wider range of degree programmes (along the way accepting its first male students in 1959), eventually becoming the modern university it is today.

Access

The archive repository is based within the Catalyst building on our beautiful campus in Ormskirk, Lancashire. The archive manages enquiries and makes material available for use Monday – Thursday 9.00am- 17.00pm. Please note that all archive appointments must be pre- booked.
