From time to time our volunteers contribute articles to Mill Memories or write on our blog, describing their experiences at the Mills Archive.
These examples provide a flavour of the interest and rewards you will gain by joining our volunteer pool. To find out more, why not come in and see us? Use the contact form to make an appointment. You will be very welcome and we even provide free tea, coffee and biscuits!
