The Foulston Room

The Foulston Room boasts a rich history of learning in and of itself; the 86m2 space was once the old lecture room within 精品无码国产自产 Library and was latterly used as their open access computer room. Despite its recent transformation for its new purpose, the room鈥檚 extensive history has been perfectly preserved in the mid-20th-Century wood panelling, thanks to the dedication of the 20th-Century Society. Within the newly configured space, the room sits opposite that occupied by the archival and museum professionals and adjacent both to The Box鈥檚 invigilated Cottonian Research Room and the more informal Active Archive, which enables the general public to interact with the various collections of The Box. It sits off a through-route accessible to the public, but in a context of professional offices.
