Website Sharing

[peterb...@gmail.com]

Hello everyone from Fakenham & District Community Archive.
Please feel free to browse our website where you can explore a small portion of the 20,000 or so digital images, which have been donated to us by members of the public throughout the past 18 years.

The initial aim of Fakenham & District Community Archive was to digitally collect images of local history of Fakenham and surrounding villages, to be shared county-wide in preparation for a national website (using COMMA software). Funding for COMMA ceased in 2005, and an independent group of local volunteers continued to run the group.

The decision was made in 2011 to create our own website, opting for the free hosting service provided by weebly.com, this was achieved in-house by our small committee of volunteers.

We like Weebly because unlike some ‘free’ providers, Weebly doesn’t populate our pages with annoying adverts, robbing us of valuable space. In addition, we have a Facebook page linked to from our website.

All images and graphics that appear on both platforms, including watermarks, are processed using an old version of PhotoShop, Creative Suite 2 to be precise, which still serves our purpose extremely well.

Because there's lots of information our website about us, our core objectives and a summary of our evolution as a group, I feel there is no need to explain further here.

We’ve enjoyed exploring with interest sites that have already been posted on NAN.

We hope you equally enjoy Fakenham & District Community Archive. -

Comments welcome!

Best wishes on behalf of our team
