THE woman who set up the first Derbyshire Record Office has died, aged 89.
Joan Sinar was the county's first archivist, arriving in Matlock in 1962.
She had spent the previous ten years in Devon, where she established Devon Record Office.
Having been born in Lancashire, she moved from Devon to Derbyshire because she missed the north.
