Here's a message from Elizabeth Budd from the Norfolk Record Office's Education and Outreach team...
"Norfolk Record Office is very pleased to announce new events this June, and to report that there are still a small number of places on our children’s half term activities next week.
For Adult Learners’ Week (14-21 June) we are running eleven workshops in libraries across the breadth of the county. Some will be ‘house history for beginners’ and others ‘researching your military ancestors’. For full details, click here.
Would you like to hear about current research at the University of East Anglia? If communications, politics and conflict or American culture are your cup of tea, then ‘save the date’ for our three special guest lectures from the Schools of History and American Studies at UEA. We are delighted to have agreed dates and speakers for a trio of evening events (6pm) at Norfolk Heritage Centre called ‘UEA meets NRO’.
Our half term activities on May 27 and 28 at 2pm are booking fast. To ensure your place(s), please call 01603 222599. This time, we’re making boats and windpumps, celebrating St Benet’s and the Norfolk Broads. Our children’s activities are free!
If you’d like to interact with us online rather than visiting us, why not suggest ‘Your Norfolk Icon’ on our Facebook page? As our current exhibition is about St Benet’s Abbey an ‘icon of the Broads’, we’re looking for your own personal favourite Norfolk places.
Finally, a reminder that our St Benet’s lectures and Heritage Hours are ongoing, and again all of these details can be found at http://norfolkrecordoffice.
Happy researching!'
