Despite the weather, we had an overwhelming turn out to the volunteer taster day on Tuesday 17th April. Over 150 people came across the two sessions and we had 114 application forms filled in on the day.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff involved and to all the people who came to support the project.
The next step is to go through the application forms and decide how we will roll out the volunteer programme in light of this tremendous response.
A cataloguing project which will highlight the devastation wreaked on Hull during the Second World War and demonstrate the resilience of its citizens on the home front. An archivist and a team of volunteers will spend a year working on the records, held at Hull City Archives in the Hull History Centre, and will use this blog to highlight the range of records discovered and provide regular progress updates.

A Call To Arms
The North East Town Revealed WW2 project is now ready for volunteers.
On Tuesday 17 April, we are holding two taster sessions for people to come and see how they can get involved in the project. These are 10am to 12 noon and repeated 2pm to 4pm, these are open sessions so there is no need to book.
A description of the volunteer role and more information on the taster sessions can be found on the History Centre website.
