Archive of the month

The Archive of the Month feature raises awareness amongst students and staff about the variety of material that we hold. In particular, the old Bangor photographs appear to spark a lot of interest and debate on the University’s Facebook pages.

Every month, an item is selected to be showcased. The item is scanned and a short piece of text written about its history.

October 2016

This photograph was discovered in a scrap book in the Penrhyn Castle collection of papers. The photographer has captured an informal moment in the life of Adela Douglas Pennant (1858-1955), who is standing in the middle of the picture with her arms around the shoulders of her companions and looking dotingly at the puppy held by Mabel de Grey.
