Hi everyone,
Would anybody like to have a go at writing occasional pieces for this lovely blog of ours? We have started up a Guest Bloggers page (you will find it on the menu under Treasure!). Just now, it contains some of the posts written by our work experience people as they have come and gone, but it would be terrific to get some regular contributors. All you really need is an interest in the history of Derbyshire and a willingness to have a go. If you are a user of the record office in one way or another, that would be a bonus. Perhaps you are doing your family tree, or a history of your village, and would like to pass on tips to others in the same boat? Maybe you are an avid reader of books by local authors and would like to write a review or two? Or your angle could be something totally different. Drop us a line at record.office@derbyshire.gov.uk if you are interested.
PS – Yes, I know you can’t blog with a quill pen. But I couldn’t resist the urge to illustrate this post with one of George Woodward‘s wonderful cartoons.
