Hi Chris, I haven’t started the two years you gave me last week so if
anyone wants to do one, that’s fine by me.

Dear all,
Rosemary has just finished another year and Karen also sent me 1976
earlier.
This means that all the index books that Tony has scanned have now been
issued and currently have no more “work” to offer those who have finished.
I just wondered if, until Tony can get any more from the museum, whether
anybody was struggling with their current volume and would like to share
the work with anybody else?
If so please let me know and I’ll set you up with a helper.
If not please just all take a break as I’m sure it won’t be long before we
get loads more bad handwriting to pore over!
The summer is coming (you might not believe it with the snow today!) and
I’m sure everybody will want to get outside more – this project can wait
until the nights draw in again if necessary.
However I believe we are getting closer to the main archiving project
launching at last. I had a meeting with the general manager of the Herald
and Josh at the museum recently and there is growing enthusiasm for this
project becoming part of a sort of relaunch of the museum. They want to
make more of featuring history from living memory as a way of attracting a
new audience to the museum and what you have all been working so hard on is
bang on the money!
Once people are drawn into the museum their enthusiasm and imagination
soon get fired and they begin to delve further and further back. The link
with living memory is what brings it all to life so if we can be
instrumental in helping make that link our work will have been very
worthwhile.
I don’t know how many of you use Facebook but if you can take a look at
https://www.facebook.com/HeraldArchiveProject ;(You don’t need to sign up
to Facebook to see the page I think.)
I try to post one photograph a day on that page, mainly from the negatives
you have been working on. Nearly 600 people are now following that page and
the audience is growing all the time. Obviously people like the period we
are covering.
