Club

We held our first ever Archive Club in November 2021 in the Old Library for a selection of enthusiastic First Form girls. Over half term, the year group were given a task to write a letter to their future self to be kept in our archive store room in a time capsule until they leave Prior's Field in years to come.

The letters contained information like today's house prices, a copy of their current timetables, what they aspire to be when they are older and the current Covid status.

We were lucky to be joined by two PF Old Girls, Tash Fanshawe (OG 1987–1993) and Tor Hunter (OG 1983–1991) pictured right, who shared their memories with the group and who enjoyed finding comparisons between their time and Prior's Field in 2021.

To round up the session, we all made our way to the Milton Archive Store Room in the attic and ceremoniously put the letters in a special archive box with a label entitled 'Time Capsule 2021' which now sits on top of the 2020's box. We hope to repeat the club soon.

The girls asked questions about the oldest items in the archive and the best temperature at which to store the materials. They were very excited about a trip up into the attic to see the Milton Archive Store Room.
