A Hub of Activity

The volunteer sessions are now underway.  We have had 40 of our 80 volunteers come in so far and they have numbered nearly 3000 personnel cards and input over 500 of these onto our database (not yet live). 



Cloths and brushes are also out with preservation work having begun.  We have recently identified another series of records, still in their original boxes, that are prime candidates for this.


During the second volunteer session, the Hull Daily Mail paid a visit to the History Centre and produced a very positive piece about the project that can be found here:

Logistical Operations

The logistics of the volunteer organisation is about done and the teams have been organised.  Due to the response, there will be eight teams, two a week, operating on a monthly timetable.

Letters will be going out this week with details and dates of which group you’re in and when you will be starting.

We look forward to getting things underway after the Jubilee week.
