History

The College has existed in several forms over nearly two centuries. Find out about how we were founded, the important work we've done over the years, and our journey to the present day.

To help analyse and celebrate our history the College has a Special Interest Group (SIG) for members and works with a Historian in Residence and an Honorary Archivist.
