This project is open to all our alumni, friends and family of alumni, as well as our current staff. Any stories of time spent in (or outside) the lab, memorable discoveries, or simply the day-to-day experiences that made the Dunn School feel like more than just a place of work or study.
If you have any photographs, documents, or other artefacts that help tell your story, we would be very interested to know about them.
These memories and materials will play an important part in how we mark 100 years of the Dunn School – preserving its legacy and celebrating our community.
Forgotten Faces
As part of this project, we’re also creating a feature called Forgotten Faces. Our aim is to create a tribute to those colleagues who may not have received wide recognition at the time, but whose contributions, character, or quiet support left a lasting impression on those around them (and were often not included in our portrait collection). If someone made a real difference during your time here, we’d love for you to share their story with us.
Share your memories
Please send us your stories, pictures and forgotten faces – or let us know about any artefacts – by contacting alumni@path.ox.ac.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!
To get us started…
Here is a photograph of the 1980 Dunn School cricket team, hopefully celebrating a win! This photograph was kindly sent to us by Chris Corrigan, if you recognise yourself or a former colleague in the team please let us know.

Below is a story shared with us by Leslie Taylor, who worked in the Dunn School during the 1950s.

Giving to the Dunn School
The Dunn School owes its existence to a philanthropic gift, and over the years has been the beneficiary of many acts of philanthropy, not least from those who have worked here.
Alumni Network
The Dunn School Alumni Network was established to keep in touch with former staff and students, in particular in the build up to our centenary in 2027.
