A vintage Christmas menu from 1944 Japan, featuring a watercolor portrait of a woman with flowers on the left. The menu lists breakfast, lunch, and supper items like rice, meat stew, and coffee.
🎄 Ever thought of trying a Christmas menu from history? 🎅
Imagine swapping your traditional turkey for the POW camp KOBE menu from 1944!

Despite a ban on pets recorded in the Vice-Principal’s Register of 1851, we have quite a few photos of pets in the Archives. One of these was the College tortoise. Here you can see it with the Brasenose Rugby XV in 1912 and 2nd Eight in 1913. #EYAPets #ExploreYourArchive #EYA

The image is a whimsical pen sketch featuring a creature that appears to be a hybrid of a dog and a large melon. The body of the creature is round and segmented like a melon, with visible vertical lines and a textured surface. It has four legs, paws resembling those of a dog, and a bushy tail extending upward. The head is distinctly canine, with pointed ears, round eyes, and a small snout with whiskers. To the right of the creature, the word "Meloncholy?" is handwritten. In the bottom left corner, there are logos, including one with a shield and text indicating the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, accompanied by the text "LLYFRAU a RHAGOR BOOKS & BEYOND."

Vintage black-and-white photo of a group of household servants in uniform, including four women, a man, and a child, posed outdoors in front of a leafy wall.
For today's #EYA theme #EYASilence #EYACiúnas we are thinking of some of the underrepresented voices in the historical record. This photo, titled Mr. Austin's servants, shows household servants in uniform in the early twentieth century.

College Statutes outline governance proceedings and rules for conduct of members. Here you can see a copy of the statutes from 1681. Statute 20 urges College members to maintain silence during the reading of the Bible or other appointed book. #EYASilence #ExploreYourArchive #EYA
