I 've just realised that there hasn't been an announcement on rete of the 
news that the Marconi Collection has been given to the University of Oxford 
- the archives to be housed in the Bodleian Library and the objects in the 
Museum of the History of Science.

See, for example, the story in today's Guardian newspaper:

Press release at:
http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/po/041206.shtml

We plan to open a special exhibition here on 25 April 2006.
