Our Illustrated Talks

Part of our ‘bringing the archive to the people’ lottery project was to become self financing by doing talks for community groups thus raising funds to keep the website online.

With the new equipment we were able to buy we have put together a small number of illustrated talks as listed below. Not all are illustrated.

If you are interested and would like us to come and present a talk please contact us for more details janet@canveyisland.org
