COMMUNITY ARCHIVE

Front Cover of the Buckley Community Archive

Since 2001,the Society has been compiling an archive of the town onto CD-ROM. 

The larger second edition which is now double the size of the original and contains over 4,000 images and items of interest about Buckley has sold out but is available to view at Buckley Town Library.

It is intended however to produce a third version in due course which will contain all the original contents plus enhancements and additional material added since 2006. (Over 1,500 + additions to date)

A cascade message will be sent to e mail correspondents when the third version is released - check this website in due course. We anticipate it will be released in 2011.

 

Want to help add to the Archive ?

The archive team meets on alternate Wednesday afternoons, 2.30 - 4.30 p.m. in Buckley Library except for the month of August. Everyone is welcome to visit us at the library - to bring along items for inclusion in the archive, to have a look at the archive itself or just to meet the people involved and have a chat about old times in Buckley. These sessions are proving very popular!
