Blogging for Gloucestershire Archives

As well as the popular 'Blogging a Building' series other members of staff and partners have been using their blogging skills to give other information about the Archives.

Take a peek at some of the latest blogs.

Gloucestershire archives revealed (1) -

There are countless hidden gems in Gloucestershire Archives’ collections.  These range from beautifully illuminated medieval manuscripts to nuggets of priceless information and funny facts, often concealed in ordinary-looking documents.  These treasures are usually uncovered in the Archives’ research room, either by visitors using our collections or by Archives staff that handle them as part of our access arrangements.

It seems a shame to keep these special finds a secret so we thought we’d set up a new blog series to share them with you, beginning with a post we’ve written ourselves.....

Or how about.... 

New arrivals in our strong rooms -

Each month new archives arrive at Gloucestershire Archives – either as gifts or as deposits on indefinite loan. We regularly process between 25 and 35 new batches (or ‘accessions’). All are logged into our collections management database and stored securely.

And a blog written by one of our partners....

Ab initio – or from the get go
