The Archives department in the University Library has compiled comprehensive guides for those doing historical or genealogical research:
If you know a Cambridge alumnus/a who has died, please email us with the individual's details and we will update our records and notify the relevant College.
Please note that due to space restrictions we are not able to print obituaries in CAM. However Colleges' publications may do so - please enquire with the relevant College's development and alumni relations office directly.
Please email us to make an initial enquiry, making sure you give us as much relevant information as possible - details that are most useful include:
- Full name, including any initials and previous names (eg maiden name) while at the University
- College(s)
- Subject(s) and Cambridge degree(s)
- Matriculation and/or graduation year (or an approximation thereof)
If we do have their details on our database, we won't be able to release them to you, but we might be able to pass on a message.
