Reports and College Activities Credit: David Olds A YEAR IN THE ARCHIVE Michael Riordan College Archivist This has been a momentous year in the Archive, as plans long delayed by the pandemic finally came to fruition. As described in previous Records, we will re-catalogue the Archive over the course of a decade. The current catalogue is actually four catalogues (medieval deeds, volumes, files, and everything else), none of which meets international professional standards and all remain paper-based. We have – at last! – begun the project, working first on the records of the College’s Oxford properties, and on the estates given in 1529 by William Fettiplace. They will all be arranged and catalogued according to the International Standard on Archival Description (General) on specialist archival cataloguing software, Epexio, which, as it happens, was created by a former member of the College’s Library staff. In due course it will be possible to search the catalogue via the College’s website. To facilitate the project, the College has created the role of Assistant Archivist. We have been lucky to appoint Amy Ebrey who has just finished a doctorate at St. John’s on the work of mediaeval Oxford theologians. She is working part-time at Queen’s and is studying part-time at University College London to become a professional archivist. Amy is answering most of the enquiries that come to the Archive about the history of the College, its members and estates, and would be very glad to hear from any Old Members. We continued to receive such enquiries from the public throughout the pandemic, though we had to close the Reading Room to physical visits for a while. It is now fully open again, but we’ve found that though professional scholars are visiting to look at items from the Archive, we have not yet had the return of recreational researchers to investigate their family history, local history, or a myriad of other subjects. Consequently, over the course of the year we had just 17 visits by researchers to the Reading Room, but a further 162 enquiries by email, telephone or (very occasionally!) post. Additionally, work continued by the Oxford Conservation Consortium on cleaning, repairing and rehousing – in a variety of acid-free envelopes and boxes – the College’s collection of 2,500 mediaeval deeds. We also held a pop-up exhibition of items from the Archive illustrating the College’s historic connections with the North of England. Some of these can be seen in my article on the subject later in this Record. 46 The Queen’s College | College Record 2022
A YEAR IN THE CHAPEL CHOIR Officers: Organist Prof. Owen Rees; Organ Scholars Isaac Adni, Luke Mitchell; Maurice Pearton Choral Scholar and recipient of the Hilde Pearton Vocal Training Jake Sternberg; Hildburg Williams Lieder Scholar Charlotte Jefferies; Librarians Alaw Evans, Rosanna Milner; Choir Manager Rachel Wheatley, Colin Danskin Reports and College Activities Professor O L Rees Organist Returning to (mainly) normal service- and concert-singing life was a deeply rewarding experience this year for the singers, organists, and myself. Within the Choir’s concert calendar, highlights included performances of Monteverdi’s Vespers with Instruments of Time and Truth, Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year (with the composer at the piano) in the Oxford Lieder Festival, Bach’s St John Passion with the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, and Handel’s Messiah with the Academy of Ancient Music: this last concert was filmed, and has so far attracted some 300,000 views on the Choir’s YouTube channel. In Trinity Term we presented a concert of music by composers of the Restoration-period Chapel Royal, featuring newly edited works by Henry Cooke, a project instigated by Sam Teague – one of our lay clerks and a doctoral research student at the College – whose research area this is, and who also organised a very successful associated one-day conference on Cooke and Restoration music. The Choir also sang for the University’s Encaenia ceremony in the Sheldonian Theatre (at which the recipients of honorary degrees included Sir Lenny Henry), at which the music included Caroline Shaw’s inspiring And the swallow.
