For #SomethingScary we’ve gone for criss-crossed letters. Sure, they saved on paper & whatnot, but they give archivists a major headache when listing them. Could the recipient of the letter read it easily?! #Archive30 #WhySoStingyWithThePaper @ARAScot
Over the past 12 months we’ve been working with @ArchitypeUK, Passivhaus specialists, to reduce the need for mechanical intervention to maintain the required temperature and humidity in our strongrooms & help reduce our carbon footprint #ArchiveSustainability #Archive30 @ARAScot
Our Mental Health research guide provides a summary of the records we hold that may help you research ancestors admitted to Somerset’s mental health hospitals during the 19th and 20th centuries somerset-cat.swheritage.org.uk/guides/mentalH… #HealthArchives #Archive30 @ARAScot
Here’s a lovely bill of sale for John Miller, nurseryman, seedsman & florist of Bristol which contains a small yet extremely detailed illustration of his business premises... including greenhouses! #SomethingSmall #Archive30 @ARAScot #GardeningTwitter
Oh how we wish for a time machine, it would help with answering those tricky archival questions, or we could nip back & date a document. Whilst this is a photo of a dynasphere in 1931 we think it also looks like a prototype for a time machine #ArchiveTravel #Archive30 @ARAScot
We hold vehicle licensing (registration) books for vehicles registered in Somerset from 1899 to 1974 (although bear in mind they don't record chassis numbers). A list of them can be found here somerset-cat.swheritage.org.uk/records/C/MT #ArchiveTravel #Archive30 @ARAScot
We’re slowly replacing our old pokey seal boxes with new homemade padded seal socks, which take up less space and won’t scratch the document! #cozy #socksforseals #ConservationWin #Archive30 #crafting @ARAScot
Once upon a time a prince was turned into a frog by a wicked witch. Alas, before a princess could undo the spell with a kiss the prince got trapped in a box of papers he was perusing pre-frog curse, didn’t live happily ever after & ended up here #ArchiveObject #Archive30 @ARAScot
For #ArchiveFashion we’ve chosen this rather lovely bound portfolio of work compiled by Audrey Adams (née Burge) of Stoke St Mary as part of the City and Guilds of London Institute Advanced Certificate in Dress #Archive30 @ARAScot #GreatBritishSewingBee
There are quite a few #ArchiveMyths (all archivists wear cardigans & gather dust in the strongrooms being a common one) but the one we encounter on an almost daily basis is that researching the history of a house is as easy as it looks on the telly. It’s not! #Archive30 @ARAScot
Here are a few of the cats who support the Somerset Archive Team #ArchiveAnimals #CatBoxSunday #CatsOfTwitter #ShowUsYourCats @ARAScot
Our former home the Somerset Record Office had a purrfect #ArchiveAnimals ambassador 🐈. We currently have a vacancy for an archive cat, payment in Dreamies and fusses, all applicants to form an orderly queue #CatsOfTwitter #Archives30 #ShowUsYourCats #CatsWithJobs @ARAScot
We recently received a very generous donation which allowed us to purchase #SomethingBig…this 9 volume set of the History of the House of Commons during the Civil War and Commonwealth. #WhatEverFloatsYourBoat #Archive30 @ARAScot
Dulverton tithe map is the biggest of the 500 or so tithe maps in our collection, at a whopping 9' 8" x 12' 10"! Here’s Eve stood next to it for scale! Thankfully it’s been digitised & can be viewed online via Know Your Place & the Somerset HER #SomethingBig #Archive30 @ARAScot
Before we moved to the Somerset Heritage Centre in 2010 we were based at the Somerset Record Office in Obridge Road, Taunton. Opened in 1958, it didn’t look very big from the outside but was tardis-like inside with over 5 miles of shelving! #ArchiveBuildings #Archive30 @ARAScot
This archive is so unusual we don’t know what it is 🤔. A piece of parchment, with an engraved metal plaque attached, we think it might be a membership certificate for an unknown group and it probably dates from the early 19th century #UnusualArchive #Archive30 @ARAScot
The Somerset Studies Library is filled with #HiddenHistories, including this great volume highlighting Somerset’s queer history #Archive30 @ARAScot
Some documents provide an interesting snapshot of the past, like this exceptionally long list of debtors to Susanna Passavant’s London toy shop, revealed in her marriage settlement in 1759 #HiddenHistories #Archive30 @ARAScot
When held up to the light, this letter from Lady Elizabeth Fitzjames to the last Abbot of Glastonbury reveals a watermark showing a hand & star. Luckily it's mentioned on our catalogue, otherwise it could be easily missed & be one of many very #HiddenHistories #Archive30 @ARAScot
Only a sibling could get away with criticising their brother’s fashion sense. Edmund Dickinson advised big bro Francis not to wear “that horrible coat & hat when you go out on public occasions” in 1857. Alas, we have no photos of the offending garment🧥 #NationalSiblingsDay

Surely common among #ArchiveMyths is: that all our records have been or will soon be digitised! It's an expectation we frequently encounter. Digitising popular collections is definitely a goal but contingent on budgets and resources, so we must be patient/hopeful! #Archive30.
Our resident repackaging genius Robyn has been busy with the records of Port St Mary Commissioners 1890-2001. The result, as you can see from these before and after photos, is reclaimed shelf space and a total #ConservationWin. #Archive30 #ManxArchives #ArchiveShelfie
A collection of Almanacks printed in Amsterdam c.1777 [DD/TO/1/4/] have been out in the search room at our Kirklees office. We particularly like the hats and hairstyles these ladies are sporting! #ArchiveFashion #Archive30
Behold the conservation cupboard! Set up during our closure period last year, it now holds the majority of our conservation supplies and serves as a safe space for some of the more delicate items awaiting packaging. #ConservationWin #Archive30 #ArchiveShelfie
You could always branch out and make actual foot socks in a similar style and with suitable branding?🧦
We’re slowly replacing our old pokey seal boxes with new homemade padded seal socks, which take up less space and won’t scratch the document! #cozy #socksforseals #ConservationWin #Archive30 #crafting @ARAScot
Today's @ARAScot #Archive30 theme is #ArchiveObject - two silver pennies minted in #Hull 1300 are on display in our Hull/@Ravensrodd exhibition, thanks to @HullMuseums. Can you see 'Hull' bottom left quarter of the cross in the left pic? @hull_libraries @HullMaritime
For #ConservationWin, it has to be our recently agreed partnership with the National Conservation Service. We are excited and thankful that they will be putting our conservation space to good use again. #Archive30
This double banjo box was featured in our latest exhibition as it is our Preservation Assistant's favourite item. What drew her to this particular #ArchiveObject was not the charter stored in the leather box, but the vibrancy of the handmade lining paper hidden within. #Archive30
Today's #conservationWin: our conservator Sarah using a "smoke sponge" to clean a photomechanical plan from Ove Arup’s archive. Look closely and you can see the colour difference in the right section, which has already been cleaned! #Archive30 #conservation @ARAScot
The Greville Family of Warwick Castle collection contains thousands of the family's historic bills & receipts. One of our volunteers recently spotted this voucher for bread for the Countess of Warwick's elephant! 🐘 📸 CR1886/839 #WarwickCastleWednesday #ExploreYourArchive
#Today in Conservation, we've finished treating a 19th century poster for @BankfieldMuseum. After surface cleaning, lining and repairs, it's a #ConservationWin #Archive30 @ARAScot

Last year we were thrilled to display Swindon’s Market & Fair Charter from 1626. It has been so well looked after by our colleagues at @HeritageWSHC that the seal is still attached by the original cord! #ConservationWin #Archive30
Archivists and Conservators work closely to make sure that documents stay in tip top condition for future generations. Tell us about a #ConservationWin you've had recently. #Archive30
While we tend not to accession objects as a rule, we do get the occasional item like this Devon County Rugby cap come in as part of a collection. This one belonged to John Neville Oliver. 🏉 #ArchiveObject #Archive30
