For the first time, a university's design archives have been nationally recognised through a grant from the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Housed in the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Brighton's Faculty of Arts, the archive consists of 18 collections of visual and textual material, with a stress on 20th-century British design. The ?180,000 three-year grant follows a major review of university museums and galleries led by Sir Muir Russell, former vice-chancellor of the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Glasgow, which resulted in Hefce extending its funding to a wider range of collections. The Women's Library at London Metropolitan 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ and the British Cartoon Archive at the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Kent also received awards.
