South Gloucestershire Council
The region currently known as South Gloucestershire was once part of the historic County of Gloucestershire, the area served by the newly launched Gloucestershire Heritage Hub.
South Gloucestershire Council is one of the founder members of the Hub network. Its representatives are Jane Marley, Museums and Heritage Officer, and David Hardill, Community Heritage Officer at Yate Heritage Centre.
SGC commissions Gloucestershire Archives, which has collections relating to the historic County, to deliver its archives service. It is pleased that, by means of the ‘For the Record’ project, the Archives has risen to the challenge of meeting the projected needs of society and will remain resilient in the 21st century.
At a community level, the Treasurer, Membership Secretary and Newsletter Editor of Avon Local History and Archaeology has agreed to represent South Gloucestershire’s historical societies in Heritage Hub decision making. He is currently contributing by email and you can find his contact details at http://www.alha.org.uk/aboutus.html.
