The Modern Records Centre holds material from the Chile Solidarity Campaign and that which relates to the experience of Chilean refugees in the aftermath of the 1973 coup d'état which overthrew Salvador Allende. In this critical reflection, I will discuss my experience of using the Modern Records Centre as an undergraduate participating in the EUTOPIA Legal History Connected Learning Community (CoLeCo). This reflection aims to share my experience of using a digitised archival collection to research the experience of refugees who fled to the UK and to gauge the differing levels of support for this group. This reflection should enable a greater understanding of the benefits that digitised archival collections have for undergraduate students.
