“…From this action emerged the search and retrieval operation directed by Jack Tawney, but of which Margery was the chairman, known as the Oxford Colonial Records Project. 33 Most of the manuscript collections donated to the project are deposited in Rhodes House Library and in constant use. 34 Some, however, have been more appropriately housed in other repositories, such as the Middle East Centre of St Antony's College, Oxford, the Sudan Archive in Durham and the South-East Asian Archive in Cambridge.…”

It seems appropriate for there to be a paper at this conference on archives in Oxford relating to the Anglo-Boer War, for it was, at least in part, an imperialist war, and, as Richard Symonds has so ably chronicled in his book Oxford and Empire, the links between the two were very strong. Not so strong that there was much inclination amongst Oxonians for military service, however. Symonds draws attention to an article in the 23 May 1900 issue of the Oxford Magazine which whilst lamenting that Cambridge was providing more volunteers than Oxford took consolation in the fact that Cambridge also had more men fighting on the other side, including Generals Reitz, De Wet, Smuts and Villiers.

“The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute its memoried glances and its murmers are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past. Even now we slip away like those pictures painted on the moving dials of antique clocks … and we, that were the new thing, gather magic as we go.“(Mary Webb, in the preface to her novel Precious Bane, 1924)This sense of the precariousness of both the past and the present is something that most, if not all, historians must have felt at some time as they search, sometimes in vain, for relevant sources for their research. And archivists and librarians, even as they save what they can from disappearing, maybe for ever, or from the ravages of decay, know that it is perhaps only a small fraction of what should or could be saved.
