You probably remember reading
PETER McCLUSKIE
that the HGS Virtual Museum
was launched a few months ago
(Winter Suburb News, p5) and is
now open for everyone to explore
at www.hgsheritage.org.uk.
The Museum has already made
a splendid start on recording a
large amount of precious Suburb
memorabilia for posterity. This
is an on-going project, so if you
or anyone you know are able to
contribute more pictures, objects
or memories to the collections,
please contact Marjorie Harris at
info@hgsheritage.org.uk or call
020 8455 6507.
At the AGM of the Suburb’s
TONY BRAND
Community Library, in Fellowship
House on March 13, a full screen
demonstration of the Virtual
Museum was given, resulting in
three library volunteers now
assisting the curators to
organise the most recent finds.
If you have some spare time
and would like to volunteer,
either to collate the finds or, if
you have IT skills, to upload
material to the website, again,
please e-mail Marjorie with
your name, postal address on
the Suburb, and phone number.
