The Wellington LSE alumni group invites all LSE alumni, current and former staff and their partners attending the Phillips symposium to a gala reception on the evening of Tuesday 8 July, 2008.
This will be a great opportunity to network with LSE alumni from New Zealand and celebrate the life of Bill Phillips.
The reception will be held in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Museum which holds a working version of Bill Phillip's Moniac machine. Other memorabilia of Bill Phillip's life will also be on display.
Refreshments and food will be available and entertainment will be provided. Tickets are $40.00 and are payable with symposium registration.
The Archives Division of the Library of the London School of Economics and Political Science has recently moved its collection of Phillips’ papers out of its Miscellaneous Collections series and renamed it the Phillips papers. The L.S.E. Archives would welcome contributions to its holdings on Phillips. The following types of material would all be potentially valuable additions to the collection: correspondence, reminiscences of Phillips from colleagues, students and friends, lecture notes from classes or seminars, photographs etc. (L.S.E. Archives does not normally collect published materials (including press cuttings) or photocopies of documents, so these latter types of material are unlikely to be of interest.) Please email document@lse.ac.uk with details before sending materials so that the staff can assess their suitability for the collection.
