I wonder what #FutureArchives will fill these shelves? If you have any #Dundee related items that you think should be preserved for future generations (no matter if they are old or new) then we want to hear from you! You can email us on [email protected]. #Archive30
We like to remind you that #ArchivesForAll is true. Anyone is welcome to visit our searchroom to view the records that we have. For more information about arranging a visit, please our website - link is on our profile, #Archive30 #Dundee
A little piece of #ArchiveAdvice, please please please don't use sticky tape on original documents! This will damage the document and leave a residue on the paper. Also if you must put something in a frame, please display a copy as it will fade in the light over time. #Archive30
Only 1 week to go until the next FDCA lunchtime talk. This time we will be hearing about the Dundee Naturalists and 150 years of studying Dundee's local nature. Click the image below to get your free ticket. Thurs 2nd May, 1pm, Glasite Hall. All welcome. tickettailor.com/events/friends…
We have a small collection of items created by Draffens, a large store on Whitehall Street that I'm sure many people will remember. The collection mostly consists of the staff journal, news cuttings and promotional material. #BusinessArchives #Archive30
One of our recent accessions is this photograph of the Dundee Amateur Gymnastic Society from 1912. The team won the National Physical Recreation Society's 200 Guineas Challenge Shield in Sheffield on 15th June 1912. #SportArchives #Archive30 #Dundee @ARAScot
Ron McNeill designed a number of posters for public attractions & holiday destinations in the 1950s, this one for Broughty Ferry is in our exhibition #ThisJustIn. We'd love to make contact with Ron’s family – can you help? Get in touch at [email protected]
Time for #SomethingScary. Can you imagine doing this! How do you think this clerk reacted in 1918 when they spilled their ink well all over the valuation roll? 😱 This is why we don't allow pens in our searchroom! (also does its look like a face?) #Archive30 #Dundee @ARAScot
#MapMonday This c mid 1960s map of #Dundee looks a bit odd in the centre as it was made in the middle of development of Tay Road Bridge and approaches. Note also half of Overgate Centre up while east end of Overgate remains standing #Archives #DundeeUniCulture
On the left you can see the Town Clerk's staff in the old Town House, c.1900. On the right is one of our stores today. Not only do we still have the same records but look closely and you will see that we still have the same shelving! Now that's #ArchiveSustainability! #Archive30
We have a set of glass lantern slides which includes these two advertising Rat Week. Held at the end of March, it encouraged people to kill the rats on their premises. You can read about the campaign on our blog: dundeecityarchives.wordpress.com/2022/03/24/rat… #HealthArchives #Dundee #Archive30
For #SomethingSmall we give you a 2D token used on the Dundee City trams. Now how far would this have got me? #Archive30 #Dundee @ARAScot
Dundee had the first trolley bus service in Scotland, running Sept 1912 to May 1914. It ran between Strathmartine Road and Forfar Road. They had no rails but needed overhead power cables. This one is outside 61 Clepington Road. Ref: GD/HEB/25/3 #ArchiveTravel #Archive30 #Dundee
African-American singer, actor, footballer and activist Paul Robeson made a return visit to Dundee in November 1958. On display in our latest exhibition #ThisJustIn is a concert ticket signed by the star. You can find out more about Robeson here bit.ly/robesondundee
This Poorhouse Admission Register was rebound many years ago, but we now know that the dates are wrong and the register starts in 1905 not 1903.🤦♀️ The volume beneath covers 1856-1878 and is not in such good condition and may need rebound too. #Archive30 #ConservationWin
This #ArchiveObject also fits in with yesterday's theme of #ArchiveFashion. This is a bicorn hat from the Guildry collection (Ref: GD/GRW/G). It was made by William Anderson & Sons of Edinburgh. Do you have any fashion heirlooms in your family? #Archive30 @ARAScot
Some excellent #ArchiveFashion courtesy of Magdalene High. She married Alexander Anderson, a rice merchant, in Rangoon on 31st March 1904. We assume this is her wedding dress. Ref: GD/X1020 #Archive30 #Dundee #Archives
Tickets are still available for the May Lunchtime talk. Next month we will hear about the work of the Dundee Naturalists' Society over the last 150 years. Its free and everyone is welcome. Click the picture below to get your ticket now! 👇👇 #Dundee tickettailor.com/events/friends…

If you are looking for #SomethingScary for #Archive30, then we know just where to find Big (and little) Scares! maps.nls.uk/view/75680250
Here's something to strike fear in the heart of an archivist when a new accession comes in... Loose glass plate negatives! 😱 #SomethingScary #Archive30 #WeHaveAPlan
This image still brings chills to the spine of our staff… A bird’s nest found in some records, thankfully before they were transferred to the archives, back in the 1980s. What's the worst thing you've found in a collection before deposit? #Archive30 #SomethingScary
Today’s #Archive30 theme is #SomethingScary and our Speaking Out Project Archivist was terrified when she saw how many staples she had to remove from this bundle of call cards 😱 You can read more about the horrors of staples and paperclips in this blog: shorturl.at/ckoEF
This was literally found in a skip, and we’re fairly sure it’s cursed. #SomethingScary #Archive30
Academic procession heading up Tally Street on 17 October 1954 going to the service of inauguration for Queen's College, #Dundee (now @dundeeuni) at St Mary's Church. Professor Margaret Fairlie, Scotland's first woman professor is at the front right. #Archives #DundeeUniCulture
@DundeeArchives Another first that I never knew about! Quite a cool one too! 🚎
#MapMonday This c mid 1960s map of #Dundee looks a bit odd in the centre as it was made in the middle of development of Tay Road Bridge and approaches. Note also half of Overgate Centre up while east end of Overgate remains standing #Archives #DundeeUniCulture
“It’s all online now anyway.” No! Digitisation takes an extraordinary amount of time, money & resources, & presents its own conservation challenges (e.g. how to store the digital files & make them accessible). Nothing beats seeing the original anyway! #ArchiveMyths #Archive30
For #ArchiveMyths of #Archive30 we have the myth that Archivists love white gloves. While gloves are recommended to handle photographs, dry, clean hands are much better for handling rare books and documents. In fact wearing gloves can do more harm than good!
#ArchiveMyths we are happy to debunk is that we wear white gloves when handling documents. Gloves are only used for handling photographs & some objects. For documents, dry, clean hands are best as gloves reduce dexterity & can cause damage to paper documents. @ARAScot #Archive30
We are often asked if gloves are needed when handling documents. Gloves are now seen as detrimental. They make us less dextrous & thus more likely to cause damage. They make Chambearlin sad! Check out @UkNatArchives guide! cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/info… #Archive30 #ArchiveMyths
'Could you quickly check out the back?' - We wish it was that quick! See our video on 'The Journey of a Production Ticket' to debunk the myth: bit.ly/3VIFYNU #ArchiveMyths #Archive30 [Photograph by Stewart Turkington Photograph]
The idea of 'dusty archives' is one we constantly have to debunk. Our. Archives. Are. Not. Dusty. #Archive30 #ArchiveMyths
Today’s #Archive30 is #ArchiveMyths We always thought our Girls’ Dux board was just inspired by Charles Rennie Macintosh’s style of lettering but a bit of digging by one of our volunteers and she found out it was actually created by him in 1906! #HutchieHistory
