Chronicles of Our Shropshire Hills
Chronicles of Our Shropshire Hills
From November 2010 to March 2013 we are planning a new project, Chronicles
of Our Shropshire Hills, which aims to enrich the resources brought to BCHRC
by the Local History Centre project in 2009/10.
Project activity will include:
- Producing Parish Profiles for Bishop’s Castle and surrounding parishes with details of research material held at BCHRC and Shropshire Archives
- Working with up to seven parishes to identify local heritage material and extend their Parish Profile.
- Recruiting Parish Champions from the surrounding parishes and offering BCHRC as a venue for a Parish Forum.
- Identifying material at Shropshire Archives to be digitised and added to BCHRC’s Local History Centre resources
- Publishing research projects led by local demand, and including The 1901 Project, using the 1901 census in Bishop’s Castle as a springboard and populating it with locally sourced material
- Piloting a scheme to distribute archive boxes in Bishop’s Castle as a repository for past and current material on houses and their occupants
- Digitising existing analogue reminiscence tapes produced by the RECALL group and transcribing selected tapes
- Developing an education resource in collaboration with local schools using material from the Parish Profiles
