Congratulations to our very own Margaret Parsons, club secretary, whom has secured a place in our Federation as ARCHIVIST. Margaret was voted into post by the Federation Management Board.

Archivists acquire, manage and maintain documents and other materials that have historical and cultural importance for individuals, organisations and nations.

A large part of the work is related to preserving information and making it accessible to users, increasingly in digital format.

Archives may include valuable historical books, papers, maps and plans, as well as photographs, prints, films and computer-generated records. Users include researchers, academics, other professional staff and the general public.
