The Home Front

Post by Archiver » Tue Nov 16, 2010 11:13 am

Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives have just launched an online exhibition on the Home Front in the North East. While there's nothing specifically family history related, it's got information on how schools coped with evacuees and air raids, how civil defence was organised, and other interesting information. It can be found here and apparently works best in Internet Explorer, though I've had no problems so far using Firefox. I think it's more with how it's displayed.

Thank you for this Archiver, what fasinating reading! I am only half way through the school life part, with evacuations etc, I can see I will be on here for a while. Well Done Aberdeen Archives!
