March in the Archives

March update from the Archivist:

In preparation for reopening, I’ve been doing a lot of work drafting a framework for the archives volunteer program. Next week the Director and Deputy Director of Corporate Services, the Archives council liaison and I will meet with the existing group of archives volunteers, to discuss volunteers starting to return to work on site in the archives, and what our future in the archives could look like. That’s really occupying all my time other than
answering enquiries (now approaching 60 for the year).
You may have noticed a certain ‘Tea With’ article in the spring Tweed magazine! It was nice to be invited by the editor back in January, and while press interviews are not a standard thing for municipal staff, this one was a good way to introduce what would normally be my rather more public-facing face, and get some information about the archives out into the community.
