Leeds lives

Melvyn Bragg delivering a lecture on the King James bible

Leeds lives is a celebration of writers, artists and public figures with strong connections to Yorkshire and the University of Leeds. Whether they were students or staff, their subsequent lives and careers were undeniably shaped by their time with us, and we are proud to give their archive material a home in Special Collections.
