Description

To mark the 70th anniversary of supporting the Essex Record Office, the Friends of Historic Essex (registered charity no. 325270), has produced this lavishly illustrated book of over 70 full-colour illustrations.

The intention is to highlight the extraordinary breadth of manuscript and printed documents, books and recordings that are looked after in the strong rooms at Chelmsford. It is not a textbook or a ‘how to’ book but rather a celebration of the richness of holdings in a County Record Office.

With documents ranging in date from the thirteenth to the twenty-first centuries, written and drawn on paper and parchment but also including cinefilm and cassette tapes (a selection of the latter are available to listen to digital recordings via QR codes), it can only touch the surface of what is available to study. Hopefully it will inspire all who read it to visit the Record Office – what will you discover?

All proceeds from sales of this publication go to the Friends of Historic Essex enabling them to continue their support of the work of the Essex Record Office.
