Continuing the wonderful celebrations marking our 425th anniversary, we are delighted to share with you our new, AGSDigitalArchive. An incredible and invaluable online catalogue that has been carefully crafted and curated to provide you with an innovative and accessible resource for you to enjoy at your leisure. It is a secure place preserving our important archive collections for future generations.
Our School has a fascinating history and this digital resource comprises of several hundred items such as: documents, publications, photographs and prints relating the rich and varied history of our School and the local area.
It has been compiled from the School’s own physical archives together with contributions from the Buckinghamshire Archive and includes forgotten treasures and curiosities from the last 425 years, including materials by and about Aylesburians. Discover every issue (that we have!) of the Aylesburian Magazine dating from 1920 right the way through to 2021-2022!
This is still very much work in progress but we encourage you to spend some time exploring it. A completely free resource that allows you to search for people, places and via year taking you back in time! At the heart of this resource is the user experience – the bespoke format allows you to explore the School’s archives as well as search articles or publications via a name, date, category or key words.
We know much of our archive material was destroyed in the fire of 1953, and as with many historical items, some have been lost over the years for a variety of reasons, but we hope that there is so much more out there!
Please take a look. Search for friends, family, old teachers or even yourself!
