Recording the tower inscriptions
An original information card for an invented local archive project.
Two ways to add to the town archive
| Role | Where you work | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Archive desk | A level-entry room | Examine enlarged photographs and type dates and initials into the catalogue |
| Tower team | A route with 48 steps | Read inscriptions from the landings and call the details to a recorder |
No booking is needed. The archive desk has twelve places; the tower team has six.
Records produced from photographs and records made inside the tower are checked against the same catalogue standard. A completed desk record is not a practice task.
After the first thirty-minute round, visitors may change roles if a place is free.
Access information
The archive desk task is seated and step-free. At busy times, visitors who need a desk place may have to wait until the next round.
How does the card distinguish the two ways of contributing, and how successfully does it reassure a visitor who cannot climb the tower?
