A former academic staff member of the Department of Classics at The University of Nottingham, Harold Mattingly, died on 23 August 2015, at the age of 92. He was, first, Lecturer in Ancient History from 1950–1965, then Reader in Ancient History from 1965–1969, when he left to take up the post of Professor of Ancient History at the University of Leeds.
The international impact of his research is reflected in his obituary in The Guardian. His achievements, especially in the field of Greek Epigraphy, will be celebrated at a conference at the University of Cambridge on Saturday 31 October, timed to coincide with a memorial meeting in his honour later that day.
A full appreciation is published in Campus News, including recollections not only of Harold's career but of his family life at Wortley Hall on University Park campus in the 1950s and 60s.
