Berkenshire County Records Office — Official Instructions
How the Archive Works
The following instructions have been prepared by the Berkenshire County Records Office for the benefit of those who wish to access archive files.
I
Step One
Choose an Archive File
Browse the Berkenshire records and choose the story that captures your imagination.
II
Step Two
Explore the Records
Inside you'll find letters, photographs, documents, maps, artefacts and forgotten records collected from across Berkenshire. Somewhere inside, a story is waiting.
III
Step Three
Write What Comes Next
Examine every object. Read every document. Follow the threads that interest you. Then decide what happened and write the ending the archive never recorded.
There is no official ending.
No answer sheet.
No one to tell you that you're right or wrong.
Only your imagination.
The records belong to Berkenshire. The story belongs to you.
