About the event
Come and see us at The Redstone Celebration Day being held at The Hold. The Ipswich Society will have a stand and would love to chat!
Miss Lilian Redstone was one of a tiny group of pioneering women archivists who laid the foundations of English local archives in the early 20th century. Each of them acquired an education at a time when that was unusual for women, which enabled them to work as scholarly historical researchers and earn an independent income. Together, their work in the emerging historical, antiquarian and archival enterprises ensured that local archives were identified, preserved and used.
There's a talk, an archives showcase and tour and more to take part in. The talk and tour should be booked separately with the Hold as this is NOT an Ipswich Society run event....
