Historical Research

Tthe role of site Historian is managed by Dave Key who is continuing to research the history of the Hursley site and its people. Over the the years this has included hosting visits from the Director of the Getty Institute, ex-"Supermariners" and their relatives and the unearthing of new information on Hursley's role in both World Wars, all of which has substantially added to our knowledge of the pre-IBM House and its occupants. Recently this has included participating in the excavations on the south lawn and conservation work on Merdon Castle.

Dave has built a comprehensive website charting the history of Hursley Park. If you are able to provide any additional information please let Dave know, his email address is dave_key@uk.ibm.com .

There is also more information about Hursley Park on the IBM web site.
