Olavian Archive

The Olavian Archive Room was officially opened in June 2024 by Peter Leonard ('77) whose tireless efforts in curating photos, items of uniform, trophies, objects and documents of the school's rich history are now preserved in this fascinating space for generations to come.

The archive is available to all Old Olavians, who wish to explore its content, or request a copy of any of the records it contains. It also provides a unique resource for research for our current Olavians studying history.

In inventory of the content of the Archive Room will be published in due course.
