Next small archiving mission to the house
Published on February 7, 2024 by hamishcampbell

We need to catch up with how the house weathered the winter, air it out and continue with the political archiving. Ana and I are going down for a week on the 15th to put this into motion.

We now have 4 institutions:

* Welsh archives and museums
* Peace museum
* Bishopsgate
* Mayday rooms

We are about 2/3 done of the easy attic sorting, we need to make a dent into sorting the last harder 1/3 then we need to do the bigger job of going through the less political spaces to find any interesting stuff in other parts of the house (there is lots).

The archives are now interested in the books as well, so we need to re-sort these as well.

During this week, we are doing a video link-up with the archives to give them an overview of the subject boxes and arrange pickup dates in the spring.

This is going to be a full on week of work, the mission after this will be to bring a wider group of volunteers to help to finalize the sorting and museums/archiving pick-ups.

Everything we are archiving in the institutions is staying family property, so will be labaled I believe. When you are down in wales next month you can write your name (or campbellarchive) in all the books as they are currently in open boxes in your room, this would be helpful.
