The Archivist's Progress

There is light at the end of the tunnel!  But only in terms of getting the personnel cards ready for indexing.  Working with the Access and Collections Manager we are in the process of finalising the tasks that we hope volunteers can undertake. 

I have spent some of this last week trying to get a grasp on the structure of the Civil Defence Corps and feel I am making headway.  Many organisations and companies today have a family tree style guide to their structure.  Unfortunately, there appears to have been no such thing for Hull’s Civil Defence Corps, but there is a lot of paperwork. 

The most easily accessible information I could find has been in the Council Minutes books of 1937-1938.  By the end of this project, this should not be the case.
