It is a virtual archive in that it does not particularly want to hold archival material, just a digitised version (although sometimes necessary, or it will help find homes if needed) but be a consolidated resource. Registered Charity status has been obtained and we have a Gift Aid account. A number of initiatives have been undertaken using voluntary help.
We are seeking volunteers to help with building the archive and more members to chip in with the admin costs of this worthwhile project and who will form a network of contacts for tracking down information. It is an expansive and complex area so do contact us and join our endeavours. Do explore the site and contact us with any queries/suggestions, etc.. |
