Inside the Warwick Castle Archives
Tuesday 6 October
County Record Office, Priory Park, Cape Road
12noon – 1.30pm
Discover how the archives of Warwick Castle were rescued from the Castle in 1978 and came to be cared for at Warwickshire County Record Office. Learn about the recent work to catalogue this remarkable collection of over 30,000 documents, some of which are now featured in a major exhibition at Market Hall Museum.
Archivists Laura Orriss and Amanda Williams will highlight fascinating items from the Greville family archive, spanning the 17th to the 20th centuries, including personal letters, records of daily life, First World War correspondence – and some of the collection’s oldest and most unusual documents.
The event concludes with a guided tour of the Record Office strongrooms and a chance to view selected items on display.
