This episode takes a look back at the special issue and symposium which formed a big part of the Modern Record Centre’s 50th anniversary celebration. Pierre Botcherby (Dept of Modern Languages, University of Warwick) and Rachel MacGregor (MRC, University of Warwick) talk us through their article The Modern Records Centre (MRC): Fifty years on and how it related to the special symposium hosted in September 2023. We touch on the highlights from the event, and those speakers who especially resonated with the pair, along with the kinds of message we hope readers and delegates alike took away from these activities. We also take the chance to reflect on where next for the MRC, and especially the role it may be playing in Warwick’s forthcoming 60th anniversary celebrations.
