LRS Archive
In this section of the Lothians website we have collected together the surviving material from the Lothians’ history, starting with its founding in 1947. This includes documentation of LRS committees, membership, meetings and other events, publications and photographs. A surprising amount of material has been preserved, but naturally there are gaps, especially in the earliest years. We are particularly short of photographs of the early history of the Lothians. The webmaster (Alan GM3PSP) would really like to hear from any members from those days, who have material that they would be willing to contribute to this site. Photographs, membership cards, documents etc can be scanned and returned to the owner. We look forward to hearing from you! webmaster@lothiansradiosociety.com
