Mayor of Derry Councillor Brenda Stevenson and Tower Museum archivist Bernadette Walsh pictured with pieces from Derry City Council’s extensive archive collection ahead of this week’s “Explore Your Archives” campaign.
A number of special drop-in sessions for the public, led by Council’s Archive and Genealogy service, will take place at the Tower Museum from this Thursday to Saturday 13 -15 November, between 10.00am – 12.00 noon and 2.00pm – 4.00pm.
The collection documents over 300 years of the city’s history and includes items as diverse as one of the city’s charters, to items relating to the shirt factories, the railways, conflict, maritime history and a range of artworks.
