About this archive

Registrarism was Paul Greatrix’s blog about universities – written from the registrar’s desk at the University of Nottingham, with a weakness for league tables, honorary degrees and the true crime that happens on campus. It began on its own site in April 2007 and moved to Wonkhe in October 2014, where it ran until May 2023.

This site is the complete archive of those sixteen years: 1,402 posts and the 1,941 reader comments beneath them, exactly as they stood on wonkhe.com in September 2026.

Paul now writes at The Wonderful (& Frightening) World of HE.
