None of our team are #ArchivePeople despite much of our collection consisting of papers and photographs - three are ex-police officers and the others have worked at a wide range of military, social history, local history, science, archaeology, design and sporting museums and galleries. #Archive30

Librarian smiling at camera with newspaper cutting volumes behind her
Today's #archive30 is #archivepeople. We figured we'd actually share a pic of our current librarian - Emma - who looks after the collections alongside the club's volunteer Keepers.
She's been here 3 years - and a librarian for nearly 20 - but has yet to climb a mountain.

We're a shy bunch so no pics but for an archive team, none of us are actually archivists! We think that's our superpower - journalists, artists, historians, educators and editors. Such a great combination for a moving image archive.

My two colleagues and I are the latest in a long line of #ArchivePeople at our hospitals and health authorities. There has been a professional archivist in post since the 1940s, and several voluntary archivists before that back to the late 19th c #Archive30
#ArchivePeople How long you got?😜We have opted to share a super important lady, Dr Alice Marshall who painstakingly catalogued the Pathology Museum Collections. This is a great reference & of huge help today! Learn more at #womensweek & here...
