The WRVS Archive & Heritage Collection is looking to develop set of learning resources for schools, primary and/or secondary, centred on the role of the WVS on the Home front in WWII.
The WRVS collection contains in excess of 1 million documents, c.10,000 photographs as well as posters, objects and uniforms, covering our entire 73 year history, a rich resource from which to work. Part of the collection was awarded UK Memory of the World status in 2010.
We are currently looking to appoint a consultant to work with us on this project and would be glad to hear from anyone who would be interested, or who could recommend such a person. Ideally we would be looking for someone who works in the South/South West, as our collection is housed in Devizes, Wiltshire, but we would be glad to hear from anyone who is interested.
For more details and/or an informal discussion please contact Matthew McMurray
