A collection of historic postcards which capture streetscapes from across Wiltshire have been added to an online heritage mapping resource. The work to add the Wilkinson Collection is a double first for Wiltshire Council’s History Centre – the first of its photographic collections to be given its own layer on the Wiltshire section of the Know Your Place (KYP) website and its first volunteer project to be completed remotely and online. Closures and restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic meant nearly all volunteer work went on hold but despite these challenges, archivist Max Parkin and county local studies librarian Julie Davis launched the History Centre’s first remote, online volunteering project.
