Digitised Archives
"Aldermaston Virtual Museum"
 Since being awarded £9500 by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to develop a new website for Aldermaston History, we have had an empty site built by CommunitySites of Brighton. This was prepared ready for the training of 6 History Group members in June this year. The training was on three main areas:
- Catalogue entry - for storing images and other digitised assets
- Story publishing - creation of web pages using the digitised assets and appropriate text
- website maintenance
Currently the team of Ange Boott, Chris Boott, Jean Chapman, Peter Hulme, Peter Oldridge and Tony Girling are entering the information for that we committed to create in our HLF application.
We are hoping to launch the web site this September/October to make it accessible to all on the internet.
If you would like to be involved or have a story that you want telling talk to any of us or email either Peter Hulme (chair@aldermastonhistory.uk) or Chris Boott (vicechair@aldermastonhistory.uk)

Oral Histories
As part of the HLF funding project is training of volunteers on how to make and edit oral history recordings. Karen Dignan and Jean Chapman are currently organising the one-day training course, to be held in the village. We are not sure how many places we have on the course but if you are interested please contact Karen or Jean.
