The appointment of a full-time Librarian in 1947 enabled John Saltmarsh to become the College’s first official Archivist. The holder of that post since 2004 has been Patricia McGuire, who diligently looks after the institutional memory of King’s, from the written records dating back to the foundation of the College to the personal papers of notable members such as Rupert Brooke, Alan Turing, and the economist John Maynard Keynes.
