A message from Todd Gray for everyone - hope you are all keeping well,
Geoff.
Good morning, Would it be possible to draw to the attention of the
society’s members (by email or on your website?) the following two
messages?
Thank you, Todd
Dr Todd Gray is currently broadcasting 15 minute pieces on aspects of
Devon history every weekday on BBC Radio Devon at 1.10pm. These will
run through June, and possibly July, and while all of our societies have
stopped meeting for lectures these are meant to help alleviate the sense
of isolation some of us are feeling.
The Devon & Cornwall Record Society is sponsoring a series of daily
blogs by our leading heritage specialists (historians, archivists,
archaeologists, librarians, writers and curators) in Devon and Cornwall
on how life in quarantine has made them reevaluate history. These are
running through June and July and can be found on the society’s
Facebook page. The society exists to publish original documentary
material and this year’s volume is a facsimile reproduction of
Devon’s only woollen cloth collection - from the 1760s. It comes free
with this year’s membership (at £16.50) or on publication later this
year (at £30). Details can be found on our website.
