Fundraising by Friends of Shropshire Archives

Here are some of the projects which have had valuable assistance from the Friends of Shropshire Archives

The David Parkes Sketchbook

In 2008 the Friends worked to raise £1,125 towards the purchase of this early nineteenth century sketchbook. David Parkes (1763-1833) was a prolific artist who travelled around Shropshire drawing many buildings and antiquities, a number of which are no longer in existance. This volume will be a unique and invaluable resource for local historians.
