#exploreyourarchives Day 3- #medieval This topic was a little tricky for us, bearing in mind that the earliest records in our collection date from the 1830's-40's, so we have approached the theme from a slightly different angle... @exploreyourarchive.bsky.social @arascot.bsky.social

#exploreyourarchive Day 2 #beauty For today's theme, we highlight a Falkland-born celebrity of the early 1900's, whose portrait features in several photograph albums in our collection. @arascot.bsky.social @arainternational.bsky.social
