The Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre was voted Archive of the Year by readers of Your Family History magazine. The splendid glass trophy was presented at the Who Do You Think You Are? Live exhibition at London’s Olympia by Your Family History magazine Editor-in-Chief Nick Barratt and actress and genealogist, Miriam Margolyes OBE. Nick Barratt said, “One organisation stood out, not just because it received the most nominations but also a wide range of services were praised.”
