The Ultralab collection: summary

Ultralab was the learning technology research centre at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford, Essex from 1992 through to 2006.

Ultralab began gathering archive materials in the early nineties and as part of that activity maintained a collection of its own products, equipment, papers and software.

Much is also reported on its website from 2006.

The archive is directed and maintained by Richard Millwood of Core Education UK supported by Sandra Crapper, Maureen Gurr, Margaret Cox and Nick Rushby.

The British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) were archive sponsors in 2008 and Becta were sponsors in 2009.

Much of the archive was gathered in the years 1990 - 2006 by Prof Stephen Heppell with Richard Millwood and stored at Ultralab at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford.

In its early days it was catalogued by Greta Mladenova and in 2006 Rex Wingate helped to organise the items in store.

More recently, in 2011, Doreen Wright, Nick Rushby and Chris Monk have been helping catalogue the materials and develop policies.
