THE Northumberland Collections Service is inviting people to find out more about the county's huge archive collection in an event to be held this weekend.
The free event, which aims to showcase how the service is working today, to preserve and share yesterday, will be held on Saturday from 10.30am to 5pm in the Workshop Galleries at Woodhorn.
Members of staff and project volunteers will speak about collections and work undertaken as part of a project to increase access to county archive collections.
Subject matter includes records of the Diocese of Newcastle, JP Gibson, photographer of Hexham, the Byne family of Ponteland and the Grand Tour letters of the Carr-Ellison family.
In 2006 Northumberland Collections Service was awarded a grant of £268,000 to help increase access to its archive collections.
