LOCAL people are being urged to help piece together the history of Crook.
Crook and District Local History Society is assembling material on shopping past and present in the town, for an electronic equivalent of a regional Domesday Book.
The society is holding four sessions in the town's library soon for people to bring in photographs and memorabilia.
The information gathered will be used in an exhibition later in the year.
Photographs brought to the library today and tomorrow, between 10am and noon, will be scanned and returned to their owners on the day.
The information is being compiled for Tomorrow's History, Britain's first regional studies website, which will provide a window on the history of towns and villages throughout the North-East, from Berwick to Billingham. It involves local communities in collecting, recording and virtual publishing of their own history.
For details, call Pauline Bell, from Crook and District Local History Society, on (01388) 768387.
