Today represents another landmark in the life of the Archive Project, with the publication of our first sample of digitisation work back from our contractors, Hampshire County Council. They have provided us a copy of the very first Handbook, no. 352 and the first section of the famous ‘Index Cards’ for our review.
As we have done with the Trophy photographs, Chris Charles, our Web Master has published the Index Cards on an interim web page, so you can get to see them in all their glory, the Handbook has been published using the template already set up for Handbooks etc.
The items can be found here:
The Handbook is on the usual literature page –

It is expected that we will have the full set of digitised images of Handbooks, Parts Lists and Index Cards back in the summer and we are currently working on plans to have a more sophisticated Archive web site ready by that time. We are in the early planning stage for that.
