Full set of the Wessex Journal magazine being wrapped up to send to the Dorset History Centre

In the 1990s, my parents ran a small regional magazine called the Wessex Journal. It contained all sorts of insights, artworks, etc on life in the South West in the late C20th. My mum kept a full set; here it is being packed up to go to the Dorset History Centre, where it will be publicly available.
