Here's an archive machines #EYAThrowback for you. The trusty microfilm reader on the left is still in use in our reading room, providing back-up to a more modern set of equipment. The one on the right is in our stores, its fate currently undecided. #ExploreYourArchiveWeek

It's #ExploreYourArchiveWeek and we've been busy diving through our collections...First up is #Communication

We love boarding the annual #ExploreYourArchiveWeek train! The #EYAMapsPlans in our care span centuries of #IsleOfMan history. From 1963, here's a modest plan for an iconic building where countless Manx journeys have begun. It even has three legs... Yes, it's the Sea Terminal!

Today is #Collaboration for #ExploreYourArchiveWeek

In August we sent more than 150 CDs, cassettes and minidiscs from our collections to Norfolk Record Office to be digitised and catalogued as part of the British Library’s Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project.

For #ExploreYourArchiveWeek we found this #ConservationNightmare . The crumbled remains of an unidentifiable deed were carefully wrapped in a copy of The Courier from August 1822, inscribed on the outside “useless fragments”. They certainly are! Explore Your Archive

Happy Monday! We hope you had a lovely weekend, we are joining a bit late with #exploreyourarchiveweek @exploreyourarchive but the theme for today is #handwriting .
Here we have some letters and a photograph which belonged to CSM T.H Painting.

Join us in celebrating #ExploreYourArchiveWeek and today we kick off with #EYAMapsPlans .
At a whopping 3.9m long, this 1864 parish map of Walton and Weybridge by Edward Ryde takes up quite a lot of strongroom space and requires the safe hands of two of our Document Assistants!

Where it all began 177 years ago this month...the hand written minutes of a public meeting which called for the establishment of the Barnstaple Literary & Scientific Institute.✍️📖

Douglas Promenade during the #IsleOfManTTFestival . The #GaietyTheatre can be seen to the right. We're unsure of the date but the occasion was Mad Sunday, so you can be sure that a party was had by all. #ExploreYourArchiveWeek #EYAParty

Monday calls for a little #EYAHumour . Here's Lancashire comedian, entertainer and TV star Bernie Clifton pictured with competitors in a Douglas Bowling Club event in the early 1980s. Regrettably, there is no sign of Oswald the Ostrich. #ExploreYourArchiveWeek #IsleOfMan
