This picture shows two men of B Company, 1st Battalion, enjoying some much-deserved R&R and cooking a meal over a fire at Errol Flynn’s estate in Jamaica in 1961. 🔥

A plush elf toy stands on a cart, reaching for a cardboard archive box on a shelf in a storage room filled with neatly stacked boxes.
#ArchivesElves is the #ArchiveAdvent theme today and Barnsley Archives have some new helpers.
We're assuming as they're working in the store that their elf and safety is up to date

Our favourite Hilda Zigomala talks of going on a #Shopping Spree on Christmas Eve in 1902, after having lunch at the Carlton. Can you spot the mistake? #ArchiveAdvent #Advent #Christmas2025 @arascot

No Christmas would be complete without a paper crown! Men of the 1st Battalion can be seen wearing theirs at their 1955 Christmas dinner in Malaya. 👑

Early Christmas cards can be decidedly unfestive. A broken plate, scary cats and headless snowmen #ArchiveAdvent #Advent #Christmas2025 @arascot

#ArchiveAdvent Day 22. For soldiers fighting in WW1, receiving an Xmas #Stocking may have been a far off dream, but the members of Baxter Gate Baptist Church in Loughborough were determined to ensure they received Xmas gifts. Here's a list of items church members could send in parcels to the troops.

Today, a photo of the Christmas Swimming race in Bopoto, Upper Congo-now the Democratic Republic of Congo, taken in 1896. A very energetic way to spend the day!

#ArchiveAdvent 17th December, #ChristmasGifts.
Our gift today is a Robin, taken from a beautiful Victorian scrapbook that we hold.
"Pretty bird! How beautifully dost thou sit and sing" wrote Bishop Joseph Hall in his 'Meditation on a Robin Red-breast' singing at his window.

The image is a screen grab from the History of Advertising Trust archive, it shows a turkey 'roasting' in a microwave with carrots.
And then for today's #ArchiveAdvent - A Norweb 'Cook Electric' advert, which I can only assume is responsible for my mum thinking its okay to 'poach' fish in the microwave (it isn't, she's a vandal).

The image is a screen grab from the History of Advertising Trust archive, it shows a close up of shocked woman's face. She is biting her lip and clutching her face, eyes wide in with fear and concern. Across the screen is written 'DISHWASH ELECTRIC: energy for life'
I promised a few pals I'd provide a heating/gas/electricity #ArchiveAdvent calendar - I'm a day late starting so today you get two!
First up, Dishwash Electric with some classic horror tropes & what I'm reading as a queer romance plot
