Queen's College Belfast Magazines
Q.C.B. was the student magazine at Queen's College Belfast. A full run of the magazine can be found in the Special Collections at the McClay Library at Queen's University Belfast. The magazines contain articles on contemporary topics, letters from students and responses from the editor, advertisements, and (often hilarious) accounts of university happenings.

And when you're finished reading the short extracts, why not post a comment to the Discussion Forum!
