Archivist’s work proved fascinating


THE work of an archivist fascinated mem­ bers of Clitheroe Probus Club. Chairman Eric Ronnan was especially


pleased to welcome a late substitute speak­ er from the Lancashire Records Office in Preston, archivist Vicky Turrell. Vicky has been qualified for some six years as an archivist and confided to the members that she had been inspired to take up this career by an early experience while at university when York Records Office turned up a 13th Century parchment, written in Hebrew, describing the Jewish community in York. This ability to access the p a s t and


unlock its secrets, spurred her on to become an archivist which she was at pains to point out was not to be confused with becoming an alchemist. Members were amazed at the wide variety of documents, available to the general public, which covered records as diverse as details of a murder trial written on parchment made from the skin of the Bristol murderer whose demise was record­


ed in the document, to poetry written in the hand of the author, on an old Venetian blind. More mundane were the ecclesiasti­ cal records covering Church of England parish records and diocesan archives with similar Roman Catholic material. Private records of family and estate col­


lections, business and societies, plus records of individuals, also figure prominently in the Preston archives. Most -visitors use the documents to trace their family tree. Other ■visitors research local history or the history of their house. I t provides a major source of reference material for school, college and university students. The vote of thanks was proposed by


James Pilkington, on behalf of the club, in which all members felt he rightly con­ firmed what an interesting and informative morning all had enjoyed.
