Bill Kirkman was Africa Correspondent and Commonwealth Staff Correspondent for The Times in the early 1960s. During this time, he was a frequent broadcaster with the BBC World Service and Africa Service. Bill’s unique collection of books from that period reflect the rapid decolonisation of the continent.
Bill was also a Fellow of Wolfson College from 1968 to 2000, and an Emeritus Fellow from 2000 to 2022. The College is very grateful to Bill’s widow, Anne, for this donation of over 100 books.
This exhibition is free to attend and open to all, with no need to book.
Attendees can drop in between 11am and 2pm on Friday 20 March 2026.
