If so, you can help Bucks Council along with the Bucks Archives to create a record for future generations.
They are looking for records from the local area such as posters, invitations, flyers, photographs and residents’ newsletters from the Platinum Jubilee weekend that you would be willing to donate to Buckinghamshire Archives.
Your submissions could help to tell the story of how Buckinghamshire celebrated the Platinum Jubilee to people hundreds of years in the future.
Clive Harriss, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, said: “We were all privileged to live through a moment in history, seeing the first British Monarch ever to reach 70 years on the throne. Residents across Buckinghamshire marked the occasion in many different ways, from street parties to village fetes to impromptu gatherings with families and friends. The Buckinghamshire Archives Service is creating a record of how our county celebrated the Jubilee and need your help to do so.
“You may well be starting to take down your posters or recycle your promotional materials now, but instead of throwing them away, please consider donating them to the Archives Service. Photographs of your celebrations would also be welcomed and can be emailed directly to the Service.”
Email Archives@Buckinghamshire.gov.uk with information about the items you would like to donate or with any enquiries. All items must be local to Buckinghamshire.
