of the month a peek into the mysterious world of 16th century witchcraft a post by archives special collections apprentice charlie lough amongst the vast durham probate records dpr collection is a

the existence of the large online library catalogues we are now familiar with libraries users would have had to visit a library to find if it held the material they were interested in or they might be able to consult a printed catalogue today these printed catalogues are valuable to researchers and librarians interested in what libraries used to have on their shelves and how the library s contents changed over time they tell us about former library management practices and collection development they offer an insight into what was considered appropriate reading material where libraries no longer exist historic catalogues are important witnesses to how knowledge and information circulated among communities they are occasionally also a source of information about who could use the

parliament to pass the south shields corporation act to make better provision for the health and good government of the borough and for other purposes this gave the local authority extensive powers among others to acquire new lands to regulate the use of the seafront and public bathing and to lay out and manage public parks during the first decades of the 20 th century they took advantage of their new powers and development of the foreshores at south shields was typical of this new ambition continue reading item of the month from tea rooms to decontamination centres developments at south
