I am working on a reprint of a little book about Minster at the moment I hope to have it out in the next week or so, I haven’t got many pictures of Minster that I know of so have been asking around for some attractive ones for the cover.Many thanks to Dave who came up with these click here to look at them.
As I spend a great deal of my time trying to find the answers to local history questions for people, and don’t charge anything for doing this, so I was quite surprised when of my customers today said that he wanted to access some information in the Kent local studies archive at Maidstone, they told him he would have to pay £27.40 per hour for the archivists time.
Assuming the archivist works a 40 hour week that means wages of over 1,000 per week, which all seems a bit excessive to me
