We've got a new volunteer project! We're looking for a small group of volunteers to help list some of our historic parish magazines so that they are more accessible for future researchers.

This project takes place on site in Aylesbury and requires the use of a computer able to use Microsoft Excel. We'll be providing full training in how to list these documents as part of our collection.
