It’s SATs week, and when better to get stuck into some school archives? We’re finally managing to get the archive room unpacked, and uncovering a few treasures while we’re at it.

This is a map of the old area of Paganel Primary School in 1885. It has been laminated and it has been painted to show the current map of Paganel over it. I chose it because, at first I thought why was there paint all over it. It was an old map from 1885-6 . Then I realised that it’s two maps in one. The current area is painted on the old map!
Soutir chose a Map of Paganel for his favourite archive – part of a series of laminated A3 sheets – ‘History of Paganel’. The display from 1990s Paganel School is being digitised – many of the photos and images used in the display are original.
