The task of The School Archivist is to collect, catalogue , store, preserve and make available all information pertaining to the School and to the Bangor Grammarians: so that their place in the fabric of the nation, both past and present, may be properly recorded.

The prime archival objective is to gather from Grammarians, Staff, Governors (past and present), Parents (past and present) and all Friends of Bangor and Bangor Grammar School all documentary, photographic, 3-dimensional or anecdotal material that exists on the School and the School Community since its creation in 1856 to the present day, including audio and video recordings.
Many records will come to the archive as a matter of course – The Gryphon: school photographs: Speech day programmes: Sports day records, The Grammarian etc. The acquisition of many , many more will depend however on you, the great-minded members of the School Community passing on what you have in your possession. Please consider giving to the Archive anything you may have and which you would like to see permanently protected. Everything will be catalogued, stored and cared for but made available so that future generations can benefit from the generosity of their forebears. PLEASE SUPPORT US IN THIS!
As you are probably aware the School’s home will be changing very soon: College Avenue is simply no longer big enough. It is so very important therefore that we carry with us to our new home the very best of the past and the present to be in partnership with this exciting future The School’s archival records are of vital importance in our determination to keep the School’s ethos, character and independence intact. Bangor Grammar School will survive and prosper for centuries to come. We are after all the custodians of a heritage in learning and humanity going back for more than a thousand years.
YOUR SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!
