This lovely colour-coded map shows the Surgeon's districts of Glasgow, c.1831. The surgeon assigned to each district was responsible for visiting the poor for free.

One of our very #colourfularchives is this burgess ticket issued to Agnes Husband in 1926. This was also known as the Freedom of the City. Agnes was a suffragist, women's rights campaigner and one of the first women to be elected to public office in Dundee. #Archive30

One of our favourite #ColourfulArchives is this Keiller's poster from 1897 to celebrate the centenary of the company. I wonder what a poster from 1997 would have looked like? 🤔

So #ColourfulArchives is today's #Archive30 theme.

The club has many items attesting to its friendships with other mountaineering clubs - but this is the most colourful! From the Italian Alpine Club.

Sunday's #Archive30 theme was #ColourfulArchives. Archives aren't always black & white; sometimes they're full of vibrant colours, like this watercolour painting of the stained glass window by Louise Cecilia Bazalgette Lucas Stratton in 1897. The window was made for Lucas Hospital, Wokingham in 1655

Coe's 1822 map of Walthamstow is our earliest map of the whole parish. With colour shading to denote buildings & various types of land use, it depicts water features & trees in some detail. We love its vibrant shade of green! Marsh Street (now High Street) is shown here #ColourfulArchives #Archive30

This lovely colourful drawing shows the Derbyshire Miners' Welfare Convalescent Home in Skegness in 1927. You can even see the sand in the bottom right of the picture, showing just how close to the sea it was, compared with the miners' native Derbyshire.

Here are some beautifully #ColourfulArchives from the Edmund Potter and Company collection. The firm was based in Glossop and produced wonderfully colourful fabrics during the 19th and 20th centuries. Edmund was also grandfather to author Beatrix Potter.
