NORCAN has now dissolved and no longer oversees this website. Some of the groups have stopped meeting and others have developed thier own websites. This site will remain available for you to enjoy the extensive range of images that have been contributed, but you will no longer be able to add new images or amend any of the entries. New websites or contact details have been added to each of the group's home pages, if they have been made available.
This interactive website consists of community archiving groups from around the county who have collections of memorabilia in the form of photographs, video clips and reminiscence sound recordings.
NORCAN was a voluntary organisation that oversaw and managed the website on behalf of each of the individual groups. Many of the groups together with the original version of this site formed a part of the Norfolk County Council’s “Archiving Rural Community History” (ARCH) project, which ended in June 2009.
To locate one of our groups, click Places. Then select the location you’re interested in. To see that group’s collection, click the Images button on their ‘local’ homepage when you arrive.
You can Search the collection at any time; either the whole county archive (from this main home page) or a particular group’s collection (from that group’s local home page) – just click Search .. Once you’ve found a record you’re interested in, click on it for more information – or to add information of your own.
