We seek archive research volunteers to help us uncover untold Union Chain Bridge stories. The research results will be made available to the public in exhibitions, the Union Chain Bridge website and educational resources. Archive volunteers will carry out research using documents held at Berwick Record Office, Paxton House, and the National Records of Scotland. Using digital copies at home, or real copies held in the archives, volunteers will read, transcribe and interpret the contents of the documents. Once the original archive and online resources have been consulted, we will ask volunteers to extract and analyse information from their contents and collate information on specific themes. This information will contribute to educational and public exhibition materials, as well as forming a legacy archive for the project on the history of the Chain Bridge and the neighbouring communities in Scotland and England. For further information about the project generally please see www.unionchainbridge.org
