Following the tremendous success last November of our first onsite film screening since pre-pandemic days, we will be hosting two more screenings this year, on Fashion on Film (22 May), and Romsey on Film – watch this space for details. We hope to see you there! Our prices are currently being held at last year’s levels, making our events even more of a bargain too, so please do share the details with friends and colleagues in your organisations. Our events programme is complemented by a

range of exhibitions in our foyer. Currently, a fascinating exhibition from HGS occupies the space. This will be followed on 28 February by an exhibition marking the bicentenary of the birth of Charlotte M. Yonge, one of the most popular writers of the nineteenth century. Then from 2 May to 29 June, the Micheldever Station Heritage Group’s display focuses on the community created by the station. Did you know that we have been hosting Archive Ambassadors workshops for many years now? This day-long workshop is aimed at groups which are looking for the best way of caring for their archives, but which have no professional archive experience. It covers preservation, cataloguing, digitisation, and online access, as well as oral history. If you would like more details, please contact archives.enquiries@hants.gov.uk.
