ERO Online Catalogue: 'Essex Archives Online'

New look for ERO's online catalogue

Users of the Essex Record Office online catalogue, Seax, will notice a big change on Thursday 21 January.

We have been busy working on an updated version of the site, which is going to be renamed Essex Archives Online.

We have tidied the site up to give it a cleaner look, and make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. See below for a sneak preview of how the new site will look.

The main changes you will notice will be in how the site looks rather than how it works. The changes will not affect any subscriptions or information you have saved on the system.

You will still be able to access the service through the existing web address but can now also reach it directly via www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk

The site will include user guides should you need any help in navigating it, and as always you can contact us on ero.enquiry@essex.gov.uk should you need any assistance.

To allow the changes to take place, the site will not be available 9.00am-10.00am GMT on Thursday 21 January; we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Happy searching!

News from Saffron Walden Museum: Viking man lost weighty gold ring in Essex 1,000 years ago, say archaeologists | Culture24

Essex would have apparently been just within the Dane law, maybe not as well settled and controlled as the Viking kingdom of East Anglia based in Norfolk and Suffolk. But we are now seeing this scatter of finds through north Essex, along the Cambridgeshire Suffolk border.

Theft of Coins from Chelmsford Museum: Urgent

I regret to advise you that the Chelmsford Museum have suffered a theft in the course of which 14 of a display of 16 late Roman coins were stolen. Those stolen were gold solidi of Arcadius, Honorius and Constantine III; those left were the  counterfeit coin of Honorius and one of the coins of Arcadius.

Please be on the lookout for coins on offer and notify Nick Wickenden as soon as possible. nick.wickenden@chelmsford.gov.uk phone 01245 605700

Book Review. Colchester Castle: 2000 Years of History

Colchester Museum’s new guide book was launched in December 2015 at a special evening for ‘Castle Pass’ (season ticket) holders.  The black cover is adorned by an Iron Age gold coin with barley ears and the letters CAMV for Camulodunum, the one adopted as the logo of this Society from 1985 to 2010.  Highly illustrated with objects both large and particularly small on display this 78 page one hour read tells the story of Colchester from its origin down to 1648.  The book complements rather than accompanies the visitor.  Although there is a fold out plan showing the location of key exhibits – including the Fenwick Treasure due to arrive in Spring 2016 – this book would be a difficult to follow case by case guide.  It includes an interesting account of the building of the Castle and its subsequent creation of a Museum, but does not mention the important role the Essex Archaeological Society had in its foundation.  All that said this is a fabulous book of a fabulous museum.  Tom Hodgson and Philip Wise have done a marvellous job in writing an accessible overview.  It is a must have for anyone interested in Colchester’s and Essex’s history.  Price: £6.

Prehistoric Treasure - Colchester & Ipswich Museums

Prehistoric Treasure - Colchester & Ipswich Museums

To celebrate the new display of the Burnham-on-Crouch Bronze Age hoard at Colchester Castle you're invited to join us for a day of exploration and adventure.

Sunday 24th January

Colchester Castle Museum

For the Grown-Ups

3.30pm -5pm

£3 per person (admission from 3.15pm)*

Includes tea, coffee, and cake

During the Bronze Age, people deposited thousands of bronze objects into pits, rivers, bogs, and other places in the landscape. More than half of the bronze objects from this period were deposited as part of hoards. What were these hoards for? Why did people bury them?

  Dr Rob Wiseman (Oxford Archaeology) will talk about some of the theories proposed over the last 150 years, and what hoards might tell us about the lives and societies of people who lived 3000 years ago.

 The exhibition curator and Essex's Finds Liaison Officer will be present to show objects from the hoard and answer any questions.

 Booking required. Please call 01206282964 or complete your details via our online form.
