The Dartford Town Archive
Description
WELCOME TO THE DARTFORD TOWN ARCHIVE
This archive forms part of Kent County Council’s contribution to the National Grid for Learning. It is intended for anyone interested in the history of Dartford: the residents of the borough, local historians, and students at all levels. We hope that other communities will be encouraged to create their own archive websites.
HOW TO USE THE ARCHIVE
The archive is organised both chronologically and thematically. Dartford’s history has been divided into five periods: Early History and Archaeology (From Prehistory to the Saxons), Medieval, Early Modern (from 1500 to 1800), the Nineteenth Century and the Twentieth Century. In addition there is a special theme on Inventors and Inventions reflecting the special role of industry and technology in the town’s history.
Teachers’ Pages: there is a teachers’ page for each period with suggested ways of using the material in schools with questions and activities linked to the National Curriculum. These pages will be regularly updated and suggestions are welcome.
