How to make a contribution to the archive
Adding your own memories or collecting new material
By Iris Capps
Today's events are tomorrow's history
There is a danger in thinking that whatever takes place around us is of little interest to others. Much of the material collected together in this archive, has some age to it, items people have put to one side and later thought of keeping because someone might find it interesting some day. Or, simply, there is some emotional attachment. A look around this archive shows how odd details gathered together can create interesting stories. So, no matter how odd or inconsequential you imagine your memories, memorabilia, or photographs, each will add pieces to the jigsaw that we are putting together to reveal a picture of the rich social history of a fascinating part of Gloucestershire.
Our boundaries are confined to the parishes that are linked by the waterways that meet at Saul Junction, ie the River Severn, The Stroudwater Navigation, The Gloucester to Sharpness Canal and the Thames and Severn Canal. In this year when restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation and the Thames and Severn Canal is forging ahead, it is particularly important that the Now is recorded before it is transformed by the regeneration of the canals corridor.
