Havering Council is looking for volunteers to help with the projects at Romford and Rainham libraries.
As a result of funding from Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Veolia Havering Riverside Trust, the libraries Local Studies Centre will be digitising historic material from Romford Library’s existing collection, making them available online and more accessible to the public.
The projects will focus on the conservation of maps, photographs and images for the Romford and Rainham areas. Members of the library service will be able to access the items from the Council’s library website. They will also be seen on TV screens at libraries across the borough, and at exhibitions for community groups, schools and colleges.
Library volunteers will be able to get involved in the project and will be trained in heritage, research, conservation of materials, and basic cataloguing. They will also be able to set up exhibitions and presentations to help promote the service across the borough.
Anyone interested should email Karen.jordan@havering.gov.uk or call Central Library on 01708 432389. A volunteer induction day will take place on Wednesday 8 May.
