A TREASURED archive service will be brought back to life in a series of free online talks today.
Staff from Northumberland County Council’s archives and library teams will be hosting the talks once a month after the initial session.
The scheme has been made possible through funding from the government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
The first talk will be an Introduction to Northumberland Archives by Archivist Michael Geary at 7pm.
To book a place on the talks go to www.eventbrite.co.uk and search for Northumberland Archives.
Archives received £48,100 from the fund which is part of the Government’s £1.57 billion #HereforCulture package to protect the UK’s culture and heritage sectors from the economic impacts of Covid-19.
The funding was intended for initiatives such as this to allow the service to engage with new audiences who would not usually use the county’s archives service.
