How to get involved in the archive…
Where we’d like this to go
We want the Gilcrux Archive to become the first place people turn to when they want to understand this parish. Whether you are a young person doing a school project, a parent curious about the history of your house, or a long time resident searching for traces of your grandparents’ lives, this archive is for you. Our long-term aims are:
- To make local history free and easy to access for everyone in Gilcrux parish. To bring together records, photographs and stories that would otherwise remain scattered across distant archives, private collections and fading memories.
- To give every parishioner the chance to contribute their own knowledge and keep the Gilcrux archive growing.
- We also hope that what we build here will inspire other communities to do the same.
