The Principle 5 Collection
Principle 5 has appointed Alex Lusuardi, Archive Development Intern, as part of Sheffield University’s Postgraduate Advantage Scheme. He is making an excellent job of archiving and cataloging the Principle 5 collection.
The library has already been re-ordered and we now have the benefit of a spreadsheet with the books listed alphabetically by author. We still have books which are not listed, these include the bound volumes of co-operative publications, CWS year books, historic books dealing with skills for co-operative society employees and resources for schools.
Now the main part of the task has begun, going through all the boxes of archive material, pamphlets and booklets etc.
The contents of these are being sorted and the details are all being listed on spreadsheets. This will make access to information so much easier.
