Dear colleagues
The next business meeting of the South East Region of the Society of
Archivists will be held at the Centre for Kentish Studies, Maidstone on
Saturday, 31st August. The business meeting will be followed in the
afternoon by a session on the Kent Archive Service's Tithe Map Project.
Tricia Rowsby (County Archivist) and Heather Forbes (Deputy County
Archivist/Canterbury Cathedral Archivist) will outline the background to the
project, which has taken several years to bring to fruition. The
fund-raising aspects of the project will be examined, as will the
conservation and subsequent digitisation of the maps. Future plans will
also be discussed, such as sending the CD ROMS out to libraries, selling
copies and getting the tithe apportionments indexed, etc. The session will
also include a demonstration of the CD ROMS on computer and a chance to use
them.
Non-members of the region are welcome to attend (programme and business
meeting agenda included below as both a WORD file and text). If you would
like to come, I would be grateful if you could let me know as soon as
possible.
