Explore your Archive

A world without records is a world without memory.

Archive services across the UK are campaigning for people everywhere to celebrate archives. Archives are full of fascinating content to read, touch and explore. And most of it isn’t available from Google. Take time to explore archives – you’ll be amazed to find what lies within.  Even if you choose not to visit an archive, you can take pride and comfort that archives hold unique and vital records which underpin education, heritage, business and identity.

There are numerous events taking place in North East Wales to mark the campaign ‘Explore’ including-
