Wednesday February 3rd at 7.30pm: Jacqui Crosby, Senior Archivist, Lancashire Archives, is coming to tell us about "Saving the Hulton Papers for the Lancashire Archives". A report about the campaign to save the Hulton archive and why it is so important. Many will recall the desperate fund raising that the Manchester and Lancashire FHS had a small part in in 2014, to retain this collection intact in Lancashire. The project was thankfully successful and two important collections of documents have been retained in the County Record Office at Preston. The cataloguing will take at least another 6 months with some documents going back to the 12th C and we are thrilled they they are staying near their home. The usual Help Desk, stationery table and recycle tables will also be available. Normal charges will be all MLFHS members free, with tea & coffee also now available £1 each, and none members £1.50 at the door. We are now of course at our new venue of the Old Links Golf Club, Chorley Old Road , Bolton, England BL1 5SU. Our first meeting of the new year held last week was a great success, with 88 attending and I think all will agree a very successful evening. Some inevitable "teething problems" became evident which we expected but all solvable. A report will appear shortly in our newsletter due out at the end of next week http://www.bolton.mlfhs.org.uk/Newsletter.php
