The Kieran Gallery is not as complete as we’d like it to be and we thought you might be able to help. We know how much you love to date photos from our collection. It got us thinking that perhaps you also take photographs yourselves?

A wet start to 2011
Over on our website we have begun a list of useful resources under the broad heading Dealing With Wet Records which covers topics such as handling wet records, salvaging water damaged materials, and (more generally) disasters and records.
Is it the end of the year already?
2010 is rapidly coming to a close and Archives Outside will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks while we all take a break.
We wish you all the best for the Festive Season & a Happy New Year!
