Digital Library Initiative

A global digital archive of SHESA academic resources — open to students everywhere.

About this project

A long-planned initiative to digitise every academic resource ever printed by or for SHESA students — from past exam papers to lecture notes, from staff-produced handbooks to the college magazine archive.

Full-text search, subject filters, and download. Access is free for SHESA students and alumni; a modest subscription supports upkeep and scanning for non-alumni users.

Design and scope work is complete. The build phase is fundraising-dependent.
