The Essex Record Office (ERO) houses all kinds of archived materials. Old maps, wills, parish registers, parchments, charters. for everything we hold there is some kind of correspondence that goes with it. I file the correspondence. Deposits (donated materials) require a signed contract from the donor to the ERO (donee). These deposit agreements are filed in the Tomb. Aptly named (by me) because it is cold and dark and has row upon row of hanging file cupboards. The deposit agreements printed on dark grey paper have an ornamental scroll font ERO on top so they look like paper tombstones.


I found out the coolest thing. I can print labels and postage direct from royal Mail on my own printer. No more queuing up at he post office. Brilliant!

TSO and I are going to watch Women in Love now.

toodles all.
