Old Derbeian Society Archivist
In an endeavour to ensure that our School past is remembered, recorded and not lost due the passage of time the OD Committee, at their September 2010 meeting, agreed to the appointment of an Archivist. They appointed J. Barrie Sheard, who is an OD himself and a recently appointed Committee member. Barrie was at Derby School from September 1945 to November 1950 when he left to follow his chosen career.We are anxious that anyone (OD's and their respective families) with records of their time at School including photographs and other written material considers contacting Barrie, through our e-mail address, so that arrangements may be made for their collection. Barrie still lives in Derbyshire, down in Shardlow, so this makes this relatively easier for everyone.
Obviously some documents may be personal family photographs and treasured items - we, the OD Society, will arrange for them to be copied electronically and recorded so that the originals maybe returned safely.
We look forward to a 'bumper' response.

You can never know what might be turned up when you & your fellows take a trip down memory lane!A brief letter to the Editor of the Old Derbeians Society website may well set you off on the trail of the members of your year of entry.
