I think this would be very helpful. Some of the possible
uses are:
- as teaching material, both to liven accounts and to make
the nature of the past - including the recent past - more
apprehendable for students
- for use in books and book jackets
- for promotional material in relation to our subject, ie
to blow up and use on boards at recruitment events or to
illustrate course outlines and adverts
