Axis Historical Society - SecondSite
 | The Axis Historical Society is a registered charity. Number 1052998.
The Axis Historical Society was formed in Barry in 1993 with the aim of preserving our local history by way of photographs, documents and artefacts and a number other history associated activities.
By now, some of you may be wondering about the title chosen for this site. Firstly, its title, 'Secondsite' is used in the context of this being our second venture onto the World Wide Web. Our first can be found at http://www.barryaxis.org.uk/
Secondly, spelt as 'second sight' it would refer to an individual or body with vision. In light of this we would like to think that our visitors would like to take away our vision of 'Saving The Past For The Future'.
Why have two sites?
Firstly, because Axis supports the Communigate idea of providing free web sites to local groups in and around Barry.
Secondly, this site will be different in structure to our existing one.
How different?
Quite simply we will use this space to provide an on line previews of our future exhibitions. On the other hand when the space is not being used for exhibition previews visitors will find comparitive images that illustrate how Barry changed over the years. As to the rest we are open to suggestion.
Looking forward to your visits and feedback
