THE University of Sunderland celebrates a century of learning this year - and hopes former graduates can help by lending or donating memorabilia relating to the university since it opened in 1901.

Any photographs, archive materials or interesting memories from the days of Sunderland Technical College, Teacher Training College, Art College or Polytechnic will be welcome at an "open house" on Sunday, April 22, from 2pm to 5pm, in the Prospect Building at St Peter's Campus.
