In fact, the original Data Protection Act was passed in 1984. So that provides the TPQ for Isobel's photo.

Best wishes

Though as the Data Protection Act came was 1998, there is some anachronism here!

I found the attached image (with slightly peculiar wording) of our original equipment, for putting into a presentation, but don't know what date this was -

Subject: First computerised HER?

Dear all,

I've had a very interesting query posed to me and I'm not entirely sure of the answer! Which was the first computerised HER? Back in 2012 there was some discussion over HER histories and I think Hertfordshire was mentioned as going onto a mainframe in the late 1970s. Is Hertfordshire therefore the first?

In case any of you have a desire to read back through previous e-mails on HER histories I have compiled a list, with links, which I've attached to this e-mail.

Thoughts?

all the best

Sarah
