Much more than a business: The First 200 Years of The Guardian

We are delighted to announce that on Tuesday, 4 May, 5pm, Harris Manchester College will be hosting a Special Lecture by Alan Rusbridger, former Editor of The Guardian and current Principal of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. The event will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of The Guardian newspaper, originally known as the Manchester Guardian and will be accompanied by an online exhibition curated by the College Librarian, Kate Alderson-Smith.

A first edition of the Manchester Guardian newspaper, recently given to the college by Alan Rusbridger, will form part of an online exhibition of items from our archives, celebrating the many links between the newspaper and Harris Manchester College over that 200-year history.
