About UncoverED
UncoverED was a student-led archival project which uncovered the University’s role in the imperial project and addressed that colonial legacy. The project launched in 2018 and was funded by Edinburgh Global. The project outcomes are showcased on this website, and the team also created an exhibition which ran during June-July 2019 in the Chrystal Macmillan Building. The project ended in 2021.
