Join Emma Jolly to find out more about the jobs women did in the First World War.
In this talk, Emma explores the range of women's roles and where to look for the surviving records, including online, which you can use to explore the lives of your ancestors and others.
She covers women who worked:
- in the auxiliary services
- in medical organisations and transport
- in police forces
- on the land
- in voluntary organisations
Emma intends to open the talk up for discussion and so bring your own stories along.
Helen then considers some of the problems with old photographs, including giving advice on repairs.
In the final section, Helen explains how to care for your collection, from simple photograph albums to archival storage, used by museums and libraries, and offers advice on framing.
About Helen Dawkins: Helen is one of the few practitioners in traditional restoration, producing negatives and silver halide, darkroom produced prints.
