26 A Decade of Giving BEDFORD SCHOOL
Preserving our School Heritage At Bedford we have a rich heritage we are proud of, dating back many centuries. During the last decade, with the help of a £51,000 grant from the Bedford School Trust, we digitalised our back catalogue of school publications, photographs and old memorabilia. Through the diligent efforts of the school archivist we have undertaken a full audit of our artefacts, archives and paintings, enabling us to make the best use of the collection to engage all members of the school community with our unique history and heritage. As we know, yesterday is our history. The school archivist has been working tirelessly to archive the effects of lockdown on the school within the wider context of the global pandemic; a piece of our history that will interest future generations. We are always grateful to receive memorabilia of any type from members of the school community. Unlimted access to the digital archives is available to all subscribing members of the OB Club - find our more on the OB website (www.bedfordschool.org.uk/association/ob-club).
