As 2022 draws to a close it is a good time to pause and reflect on what a momentous year it has been for the country. This year has borne witness to a Winter Olympics; Platinum Jubilee celebrations; the invasion of Ukraine; three Prime Ministers; the death of our much-loved Queen and the proclamation of a new King.
Suffolk Archives have some beautiful, centuries old material within the collections, but we also collect material created very much in the ‘here and now’. It is important to keep a record of these historic occasions through contemporary collecting.
Perhaps you have kept hold of some documents in recent years that reflect the community around you, or tell of changes to the society in which you live? Why not get in touch and help preserve tomorrow’s history?
Now the Christmas break is nearly here it’s the perfect time to find out about all the activities that Suffolk Archives has on offer. From the popular Ipswich based exhibition ‘Picture Books For All’, to archives inspired Christmas Crafts, Father Christmas, an indoor Christmas Market and some festive themed Escape Rooms – there really is something for everyone.
We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2023.
