Work of CDFAS Heritage Volunteers

 

NADFAS volunteers help to conserve our heritage both in Britain and in parts of Europe for the benefit of the public. Over the years since 1988 CDFAS volunteers have given their time and skills to help National Trust properties, museums, galleries and libraries in non specialist but vital ways by caring for collections, recording documents, guiding and stewarding. These have included The Vyne, Osterley Park, The Royal Military Academy, The National Portrait Gallery, Farnborough Abbey, The Royal Library at Windsor after the fire, British and Surrey Heath Museums.

A group of volunteers from CDFAS are about to start conservation work for the National Army Museum at Sandhurst.  Others are working on the computerisation of all burial records for St Peter’s church at Frimley some on  research into a number of the people buried there.  A group of volunteers are presently helping Surrey Heath Museum with the conservation of photographic negatives and with researching and cataloguing the paintings of local artist Percy Harland Fisher. We also support the work of the Heritage Gallery in Camberley set up to promote our local museum.
