My #Archive30 #Day1 and #Day2 are combined! For my final project I decided to work with my own family archive and digitise it for an exhibition exploring the importance of preservation. One of my favourite items has got to be this interior of my Great Grandfather's shop

Found a fragment? 200-year-old printed pottery sherds like these are a common sight along Scotland's fields, rivers and beaches today 🫖

A new digital museum is inviting you to submit these rediscovered artefacts to their online archive: https://t.co/JBrvDWzPcm

This isn't any #OTD - it's an M&S 'on this day...'

Glasgow's second M&S shop launched on November 29, 1935, in Sauchiehall Street, and offered a cafe within the store - the very first Scottish branch to do so.

@archivehour Q6. Talk to people in the profession, and ask for support if you need it. Plenty of us are willing to support with mentoring and advice to help you get where you want to be. Also, look ahead for training for the job you want rather than the job you have, if you can. #ArchiveHour
