I'm looking forward to attending a special event organised by BLARS.
BLARS? Sounds awful, I know, but it stands for Bedfordshire and Luton Archives Service which is marking its centenary year. Please note its email below with information about events that may be of interest. I will do feedback when I have attended, highlighting resources available. To find out more visit www.bedford.gov.uk/archive
"Bedfordshire & Luton Archives Service is celebrating its
100th birthday in 2013.
"Parish and Town Council records dating back to the 1890s
form one of our largest – and growing – archival collections, which is
increasingly used for historic and administrative research.
"We are inviting a representative from your Council, as one
of our major depositors of records, to join us for a lively evening where we
will showcase the exciting plans for our centenary year, including major
exhibitions at Wardown Park, Luton (spring) and at The Higgins (autumn), as
well as a fun quiz at the Marston Vale Centre (23 May). There will also be an introduction to
our on-line resources, as well as a chance to see ‘behind the scenes’."
