The Penvro Magazine Digital
Archive Scanning Project |
This ongoing project, started in March 2009, will ultimately see the scanning and uploading of decades of the original school magazine The Penvro. The purpose is to create a digital archive of this precious resource of Pembroke Dock/Pembroke Grammar School.
Offers of issues in the original collections go back to the beginning of the 20th Century. You may even find your parents' parents in one!
The pdfs are created from scans using OCR (optical character recognition) software and are completely searchable. See the toolbar in Adobe Acrobat Reader for the Find utility/slot and simply type in a name to find your special mention. |
| How to view The Penvro Collections |
Presently we have a collection spanning from the 1900s to the early 1970-71 issues with more to come. We also have acquired a few from earlier years which will be added once they are mended to conserve them before scanning. Click the bar for the decade you wish to view and a page of thumbnails for the available issues will open. |
