General chit chat, some cat pictures and a little archivisting especially business archives. I'm the archivist @ballasttrust

[Kiara King @kkingaling]

@JulieDevenney We'll have some stuff at the Ballast, I'll drop you an email.

BACS events starring Henry!!! #archive30

[BACS @BusArchScot]

#ArchivesFromHome 🏠 On day 5 of #Archive30 we’re reflecting on working from home! The past year has seen our AGM and Corporate Connections events move online, offering support to business archives across Scotland👉 https://t.co/okZsP5UZL7

(📸 proudly featuring Henry the cat!)

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

#Archive30 Volunteers are integral to what we do! From scanning and transcribing to enhancing descriptions, they continue to work on a range of projects remotely. This digitised image of Dougals BK247 from the McLaren shipbrokers collection is just one example. #ArchivesFromHome

[Kiara King @kkingaling]

Victory for Henry!

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

We really enjoyed #Archive30 this year - thanks to @ARAScot and our trainee Nessa for preparing our many tweets while #ArchivesFromHome
.
But the important question now the month is done is who got the most likes? Buddy or Henry?? Turns out #CatsRule

[Kiara King @kkingaling]

Buddy in a box!! Missing our wee #archivedog @BallastTrust

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

We are missing our resident archive dog Buddy during the lockdown. He is definitely our favourite #SomethingSmall in the office! #Archive30 #dogsoftwitter

@sun_sea_sky @archivehour @kitchensisters Oooh I love @kitchensisters can highly recommend them #archivehour

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

We can finally join in with #ArchiveAdventCalendar for today's theme of #ScarfAndGloves with this c.1970s British Shipbuilders Christmas Card

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

Slides are done... Two weeks today I'll have chatted all about technical records, #Ballast30 and business archives at #ICASBA2019

[Kiara King @kkingaling]

@melindahaunton @LizARees @BAC_Chair @archivehour @ARAnewprofs Agree, I think this could work really well.

[Kiara King @kkingaling]

@archivehour Often find the talks I really want to be there for are spread across the programme so can be hard to pick and justify one day if that's what you've got budget for

[Kiara King @kkingaling]

@therealdrdark @archivehour @ARAconf This is a great idea, sometimes you risk missing sessions to network and chat and it's hard to squeeze it all in

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

Catching up with #Archive30 and #YourArchive is a bit misleading for us as I always start conversations with "the ballast trust isn't an archive" but we do work on behalf of archives across Scotland

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

And now home to find somewhere for these lovey flowers to celebrate a very happy 10 years @BallastTrust for me (@kkingaling)!

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

First task of 2019 - find a home for our giant ‘business of archives’ board from the launch....

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

#ExploreArchives 30 years ago Bill Lind set up operations in Scott Lithgow's shipyard, this letter from July 1988 explains access arrangements to visitors #ArchiveAnniversaries #Ballast30

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

A before & after for #Archive90s this week of our main workspace in 1992 and 2018 #Ballast30

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

#Archive80s is particularly timely as we celebrate our 30th anniversary this week @riversidemuseum so here's a shot of where it all started at our first home in the Joiners' Shop at Lithgows Kingston Yard in 1988 #ExploreYourArchives #Ballast30

[Ballast Trust @BallastTrust]

#DYK that Bill also bought and deposited non-business collections occasionally? I spent yesterday looking for images from the wonderful William Fulton Jackson collection @UofGlasgowASC for #Ballast30 publication
