>> Dear all
>>
>> The archives of Ruskin College, pioneer institution of working- 
>> class education, have been partly destroyed, on the instructions  
>> of the  college principal and despite protests and an offer from  
>> the  Bishopsgate Institute to take everything. What remains may  
>> still be at  risk.
>>
>> 'Papers have not gone to a landfill site but have been  
>> specifically destroyed. Even the removal firm seemed puzzled and  
>> sought  clarification from the principal who allegedly confirmed  
>> that indeed  such material must be destroyed.', writes Hilda Kean  
>> in an article on  the History Workshop website.

>> Please read Hilda's article for more information if you have time
