News and events

News and events from The Sparrows' Nest.

We finished another round of sorting, cataloguing and digitising! Please find a list of 87 new items below (just under 2GB of additional data).

This month it is time to put the spotlight not on a particularly sexy document, but rather on a few humble ones that nevertheless make an ageing archivist's heart sing.

As we are spending more time at home again, why not arrange a socially distanced quiznight with your comrades?

We have updated our Digital Library with another 2GB worth of materials.

After being bogged down by less glamorous duties for a few weeks, we are glad to announce that we have had some time to digitise more materials. Please see another 71 publications below.

As always many thanks to everyone who donated materials to the Nest, so that we can make them available to interested audiences.
