<strong>The</strong> final section of the archive looks to ‘<strong>The</strong> Future’ with items about Reginae,<br />
our undergraduate female network, and a pen portrait of one the current female<br />
undergraduates. This section also marks the establishment of the Queen’s Women’s<br />
Network.<br />
A great debt of thanks is owed to so many people who helped to make the archive:<br />
Emily Downing (Head of Communications) for her support in the publication of items<br />
and the Cabinet project; Michael Riordan, the <strong>College</strong> Archivist, for uncovering so<br />
many amazing treasures of the <strong>College</strong>, as well as all the contributors. In addition to<br />
those already mentioned, we thank the late Professor Brian McGuinness (Philosophy,<br />
1953), Ivor Timmis (Modern Languages, 1977), Phil Tellwright (Geography, 1977), Sue<br />
Williams, and Ken and Val Wyatt. Thanks also to all the Queen’s women who shared<br />
their memories so openly and generously.<br />
