re: there must often be projects which the professionals are engaged
in that some of us dedicated "newcomers" who I suspect are mostly retired
individuals with time to indulge in the subject of the local history of
their parish or even further afield, could perhaps help with in a lesser
role. What do members think? Would there be benefits to both parties?
What would be the pitfalls, if any?
There is a society which promotes projects which link
institution-based scholars and independent ones. It is the Family and
Community Historical Research Society and you can find out more at this
