News from the Mills Archive
Saving the memories for ten years
The Mills Archive is ten years old! Since 2002 its Trustees, volunteers, Friends and benefactors have been working to rescue the precious documentary records of our milling heritage. Please help us continue to save the memories.
Volunteers win work placements on Vodafone Scheme
Two more Mills Archive volunteers – Guy Boocock and Nathanael Hodge – have won places on the Vodafone World of Difference scheme. They will be paid by the Vodafone Foundation to work for the Archive for four months part-time, undertaking specific projects. Guy's project is to catalogue the correspondence and research notes of Stephen Buckland, an eminent molinologist, while Nathanael will work to establish a presence for us on the Archives Hub, a website that brings together archive catalogues from across the UK for easy searching. Guy and Nathanael are following in the footsteps of Chris Wheeler.
More mills supporting the Archive
Ten mills have now expressed their support of the work which the Archive is doing by taking out membership of our Friends organisation. Information about them is available on our new Featured mills page. More mill members are expected later this year.
