About These Archives

Acknowledgements

Much of the early work on the archives and history of Scouting in Sheffield was carried out by George Outwin and 'Spike' Johnson.
The Archivists thank Picture Sheffield (Sheffield Archives and Local Studies) and Sheffield Newspapers/Johnston Press for permission to reproduce their images and articles.
The Archivists also acknowledge the input of Dick Parrott and Alan Shrives of the International Badgers Club.

Credits

The work of George and Spike has since been further sorted and catalogued by Alan Ogden, Derek and Pam Powell, Roger and Margaret Sanderson, Peter Stevenson, Roger Village and David Worth.
The website and database have been developed by Andrew Jones.

Website Editorial Strategy

This website is an attempt to reflect the large quantity of archive material held in the Archives. The website editorial strategy is to try and present a balanced history of Scouting in Sheffield and consequently not all archive material is presented fully on this website. Similarly, the archives contain material which is not of immediate relevance to the history. Again, this is not fully presented on this site.

Errors and Omissions

Whilst every effort has been made to minimise errors and omissions, it is inevitable that they will occur. Some of the archives are based on uncorroborated single statements or personal memories. Visitors to the site are invited to contact us with corrections and amendments, both historical and technical.
