Shelf Gala
With the advent of powerful computers, digital cameras, printers, 3D printers, mobile phones, tablets, webcams, online shopping, email and the world wide web – communication and the search for knowledge has reached an unprecedented level and one presumes that it will continue to grow – who knows what may be happening in five year’s time?
One area that has benefitted from all this technology is history and archives. A few years ago where would you have had to go to to view the 1841-1911 census records – now it’s online to view in your own home.
Shelf Gala can also benefit from this technology by putting online a record through a copy of the programme and pictures of the proceedings of the day in the form of a slideshow.
Click on any of the programmes to take you to details about that year including photographs.
You can also download a copy of that year’s programme.
This is work in progress, not all of the years are online at the moment.
