NewsPublicationPublication of memoir by Joachim Liebschner, Iron Cross Roads Formal Opening of Froebel ArchivesOn January 28th 2008 two major Froebel archives were for the first time brought together and opened in a new location – the remodelled Archives and Special Collections floor of the Roehampton University Library in SW London. These together now provide a unique and accessible resource for students and researchers into the history of the Froebel movement in the UK. The two archives are: The Froebel Archive for Childhood Studies The opening ceremony was addressed by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul O'Prey, and a plaque was unveiled by Dr Gillian Collins, a longserving Trustee of the National Froebel Foundation, to Joachim Liebschner in recognition of the instrumental role he played in establishing the Froebel Archive for Childhood Studies. Joachim Liebschner then gave a personal account of the origins of the Froebel Archive, demonstrating the difference in educational approach between the Montessori apparatus and the Froebel 'gifts' (as he used to do for many years with students), and thanked numerous people for their support over the years.
