Archaeologists seek volunteers to sort city history

Archaeologists have put out a plea for volunteers to help sort through thousands of historical items in a city's museum.

Led by Cotswold Archaeology, the Store to Store project involves sorting, reboxing and consolidating archaeological records, artefacts and documentary and photographic evidence held by Gloucester Museum.

Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project aims to ensure the long-term preservation of the items.

Hazel O'Neill, from Cotswold Archaeology, who is leading the project, said: "We've been going for about a month and we've found some really lovely things."
