The Throwleigh Archive Past & Present
Location: Devon
This project has raised awareness of the history and heritage of the village of Throwleigh, on the edge of Dartmoor.
The project has assembled an archive, representing both the heritage and contemporary life of the parish through the collection of photographs, artefacts, documents, and sound recordings.
The group has held public displays at Throwleigh Village Hall showing the material available: the first in 2002, and a second in April 2006. We have also produced a hardback book Throwleigh - pictures and memories from a Dartmoor parish to provide a collection of some of the best pictures with accompanying text mostly in the form of quotations from oral and written sources. Copies can be purchased from Throwleigh Archive at £15 + P&P.
Local people of all ages have participated in the gathering of the information, which has been catalogued, recorded and electronically stored, to ensure a permanent record that can be easily updated and accessed.
