SLIDE TEAM UPDATE NO.1-

A call for volunteers to help preserve over 12000 historic photographic slides has led to Rosemary, Eric, Jane, Nancy, Helen and Elva providing their assistance.

Order is now being restored - over 2400 slides have been transferred to new archival sleeves and given a brand-new, database-specific number.

One of the challenges along the way is identifying slides which have no markings -

We shall make available here soon some of those images.

MYSYTERY SLIDES

Help us identify slides that have no markings, and read about previously identified slides.
