Openhouse at Newbury 2014





Archiving the Paper Trail!

Robert has worked for many months now on the photographs. These are numerous as can be imagined. They have been treated according to the requirements of the Glamorgan Archives, who will be storing them for eternity!

The specific materials supplied and required by The Glamorgan Archive in order to store paper materials

Each photo had to squeezed into its own clear sleeve of special non-greasy, non-acidic plastic. Then each set of photos are bundled together and tied with special ribbon. All the bundles are placed in the non-acidic grey folder that is then placed in a non-acidic and sturdy brown box. No sticky labels or metal staples allowed. the labels are card and attached as shown in the photo.

That's a lot of boxes Robert!

Each of the shows and eras of NFS has it's own box, and at the moment they are in the Archive Project office, as Toby and Robert work through them.

Whose who! Toby and Robert working on the digital archive with the obligatory grey ponytail!

Robert, a self-confessed computer-phobe, has moved on to scanning the photos he has been working with for the last long while and grown very familiar with, onto the archive website, again a laborious job done admirably!
