I have been busy cataloguing the many entries and this is a 'work in progress'. I have uploaded an image of the Excel spreadsheet for you to view. When the original document is complete and posted online, you will be able to filter and sort all the entries, in order to identify the specific folder where the items are located.
The aim is not to reproduce every paper cutting, photograph, brochure etc online. The Excel spreadsheet is only a 'gateway' into all the items that Sheila collected over the years. In short, it is a list of content.
The documents will remain as a paper collection and will only be made available under controlled conditions, so that nothing goes astray. Copies and extracts can be taken where this does not breach copyright, however this service will not be available until everything is catalogued and a suitable system for viewing has been put in place. Please bear with me as the cataloguing is a huge undertaking requiring every scrapbook, folder, brochure, photograph album etc to be examined and every entry described.
I trust this gives more insight to the work being done behind the scenes to preserve what Chris has described as 'a fascinating social history of Nocton'.
