Reflections on the year

As the year draws to a close we are all reflecting on what a strange one it has been.

For the majority of our volunteers who join us for the company as well as the hard work it has been a lonely time as they work at home. For me it has been busy sending the work to them as they need it.

We have had many queries as people in lockdown spend time researching their family history. To date (early December) we have had 128 queries these are great as they often lead us to mini research projects and to the exchange of photographs and artefacts.

There have been displays put up at Police Headquarters to commemorate Black History Month and Armistice with a few events for 2021 already in the planning stage. Hopefully as the vaccine is rolled out we should be able to return to something more like normal and talks and events will resume.
