If you were hoping to see some #FestiveLights in 1998, you could have driven past this house in Riddings and marvelled at the illuminated Santa's!

A little festive #EYASparkle. These beautiful illustrations of the odd bobtail squid, Heteroteuthis dispar, can be found in the reports from the expeditions of Albert I Monaco. This volume, 66, was published in 1923

The Treasury houses the College chest, which contained money and important documents (the beginnings of the Archives). Over time they outgrew the chest and eventually moved to the Muniment Room below - now the Library and Archives office! #EYAYourArchives #ExploreYourArchive

Do we have archives relating to your history? Probably! Our archive reflects global histories & is open to all. Conservator Shabnam Balouch has helped uncover our Persian archive, and you can find out more at an upcoming talk & our free public workshops in January! #EYAYourArchives #KewLA

#EYA #EYAYourArchives The #BritishMuseum #archive is an important record of its history. As we embark on a vast cataloguing programme, there’s much to discover. These items came from Frederic Kenyon’s archive & include letter from #RudyardKipling & an autograph book of archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon

The Llanwenarth #WomensInstitute Minute Books from @gwentarchives.bsky.social were very popular with our transcribers. This lovely entry from December 1921 reports on a very “successful” carol concert and children’s tea party with entertainment and gifts of oranges and sweets! #EYAYourArchives 🍊🍭🍊🍭

This image explores the theme of #EYAYourArchives as it highlights York history as well as the wider history of Britian. It explores the celebrations for Queen Victorias Diamond Jubilee and the coming together of the community, through either teas or galas.

Despite being called a museum, we estimate that 60-70% of our collection is in fact books and archive. We are one of two archives of Met history, the other being the National Archives, which took all Met central records until 2000. #ExploreYourArchive #EYAYourArchive

The Abbey's muniment collection - or archive - is one of the oldest in England. The documents we care for, from royal charters to estate papers and administrative records from the medieval monastery, chart life at the Abbey since the 10th century.
