8 items

Oral history interview with Arthur Homer, History student 1934-1939 and Law student 1946-1949, part-time lecturer, Faculty of Law, 1950-1982, and Rosalind Homer, French student 1933-1937, French lecturer 1943-1956. Interview recorded by Donald Jones at their home on 22 January 1992. The interview appears to begin after some discussion between Jones and the interviewees as it starts by discussing Arthur Homer's postgraduate study, war service, and career before returning to his earlier life and that of his wife, Rosalind. The interview appears to end in the middle of conversation and in the middle of a cassette tape

Both Arthur and Rosalind Homer discuss their memories of studying and working at the University of Birmingham in detail and the interview is an important source of information for the study of student and staff experience in the 1930s and 1940s
