We're really pleased to have been re-accredited! 🥳. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to prepare for accreditation. Accreditation shows that we are meeting national standards and allows us to continue as a public place of deposit.
Congratulations to @cardiffunilib and @NorthantsPast for achieving Archive Service Accreditation for the first time! The UK-wide panel accredited an additional 9 archives for a second time – well done all!. Read more here:

It’s #NationalTreeWeek. ❄🌲 These images show the Wallington Estate & Bardon Mill, Hexham, in Jan 1941. Taken on her walks, Mary snapped these snowy photos of the trees and landscape. 🌨️ These brilliantly wintry trees may remind you of last week's weather! 🥶 📷NRO 11029
