Original documents are preserved, yet their contents are no longer hidden away and forgotten. Isolated wills and deeds suddenly take on new relevance. Information may be sent possibly by Internet to any enquirer in the world. Museum funds may be supplemented by making the new provision available to the public. It is possible to offer the service to customers all year round, not just to seasonal visitors.
Researchers are able to discover their ancestors, where they lived and the work they did.
They might even find the relatives living next door. History comes alive for future generations. All it takes is a family history researcher and a computer. If you want your local museum not only to keep up to date with new technology but also to use it for the lasting benefit of your neighbourhood - why not get in touch today.
