12th August 11  Jack gets our archive 1943 - 2011 organised into boxes.

 




 The boxes are a mixture of Dorset Youth Association club photos, press clippings, a rather sensational diary from Baggator adventure centre! slides, documents, committee minutes, budgets, annual reports, cheque book stubs and floppy discs. Jack decided on a method and sorted the material into different categories and labelled the boxes.We will learn more about archive methods as we are booked in for some training with the Dorset County archivist Stuart Tyler. Jack is familiar with primary source material like photos and diaries as he is studying history. He'll use his research skills when he gets to Winchester University to study journalism and creative writing. He just heard he got in (Yay!)

Jack’s next step is to carry out a rough survey of the archive to draw up a time line and locate some great stories and ID potential people to interview to help tell the story of Dorset youth clubs.
