Access to Archives (A2A)
Wiltshire archivists have joined a nation wide
initiative to convert the catalogues of historic archives held by record
offices, museums and libraries in the region into electronic format. The project
aims to make all catalogues available on the internet in a searchable form. The
current project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Treasury. By the
end of March 2002 it should be possible to see all the catalogues of church and
school records from South-West England by logging on to
www.a2a.pro.gov.uk
From
History to Her Story
. This is a lottery funded
project which is converting archival sources on the lives of Yorkshire women
into electronic form.
Genesis
is an RSLP-funded project to develop access to women's history sources in the
British Isles, based at The Women's Library in London. There are two main
strands of the project:
1. A web-accessible database of library, museum and archive collection
descriptions, available freely to anyone with Internet access. This database
will be available from June 2002.
2. The Guide to Sources - a comprehensive list of web resources relating to the
study of women's history, including British and International sites.
Reece Winstone Archive
Reece Winstone FRPS, 1909-1991, was a freelance photographer all his life and
built up his own photo-library of Beautiful Britain. He was a Bristolian, who
recorded the city from 1930 to 1975. Post-war he began collecting historic
photographs of the city, and was the first person to publish serial books of
historic photographs, in 1957. This corpus is now all termed the Reece Winstone
Archive.
The Women's Archive of Wales rescues and
preserves the unique experience of women in Wales and hosts an archive of
women's letters, diaries, minute books, accounts, newspaper cuttings,
newsletters, photographs, scrapbooks and other material. Visit their website at
