As part of the Living Barracks project, the Record Office needs to repackage, audit, and in some cases renumber the collections in preparation for the eventual move to the Barracks. First of all a short pilot project is needed to establish how this will work and how long it will take, and around 10 -12 volunteers are sought to do the work over a 3-month period, starting in January 2024.  An initial meeting is being held in the Record Office on Monday 8th January at 10.30am to explain more about the project and what it entails.  Do come along if you are interested – no previous experience required.
