The last day of #Archives30 is #WhyArchives? They give us a tangible link to the people of the past which shows we're really not that different: which parent doesn't still write very clearly and carefully so their child can read that they love them?

#Archive30 #WhyArchives Without #archives the #BritishMuseum would have little idea of its history, or who has worked there over the years. Judith Stanley was 1 of the 1st female employees & in 1756 our accounts show her employment & the wages book shows she accepted her salary with a X.

It’s the last day of #Archive30, so today we ask the question #WhyArchives? Archives allow us to connect with the past and to understand the present; to learn how our communities and landscapes were created; to understand our heritage and a sense of place.
