Digital Archives: Explore your time at Bradfield

Reflect, reminisce and reconnect
15 Oct 2025
Heritage

The timeline we have installed in Bloods Corridor as part of the Bradfield 175 project, celebrates the 175th anniversary of the founding of the college in 1850, along with information boards at key points around the campus as permanent reminders of the history of Bradfield.

We also have a Digital Archive and invite you to explore your own time at Bradfield by exploring the content.

The oldest history books of Bradfield are digitised - The Bradfield Register, 'The History of Bradfield' by Leach and 'Bradfield 1850-1975' by Blackie. The most recent history of Bradfield by Stuart Williams is available to purchase in our Shop here

We are in the final throes of digitising the remainder of the written text in the Bradfield College Chronicle Articles and Headmaster's Newsletters. These catalogue the whole history of Bradfield since 1850 up to 2015, when the current Bradfieldian magazine began being published.

We have some of the college photogaphs by house and sporting pictures and also many school play pictures.

If you would like to explore your time at Bradfield please look at the Digital Archives under which you will find drop-down menus and you can Browse sections as shown below:

If you wish to search for something in particular you can use Search all or the Advanced Search menus to search for a surname or event and the system will highlight all the documents which include that reference for you to look at. You can see an example for Fencing below:

Finally, a tip when you are in a section of text you can use the Shift Key and F to find a particular word which skims through the text more quickly to highlight what you are looking for.
