Friends of Medway Archives & Local Studies

This new society has been formed to help with the conservation and preservation of the records and other materials of historical interest held at the Medway Archives & Local Studies Centre and elsewhere. Members also want to promote public access to the records and material, and intend to publish material, give lectures and exhibitions and arrange visits relating to local history.

Yolande Dunn, Press Officer for the Friends, says "We would like to encourage membership, by way of Individual, Family or Corporate Membership. So many of the KAS Newsletter readers are aware of the history of our towns and can get involved, for instance, with helping us to identify old photographs. We need the support of the people who have lived or worked in these places, or who are just interested in their local history."
