BERKSHIRE RECORD OFFICE
There are very few counties that can call themselves ‘Royal’, in fact
to the very best of our knowledge there is only one, and that’s Berkshire.
It therefore makes sense that Berkshire have some pretty impressive records to keep and if you
take on a commission to help with design projects you know all too well that some very
important people might be watching! Thank you Charles.
“The site is looking amazingly good and we’re very pleased with it. Many thanks for all your help. You went through everything very patiently with us. A large job, very well done”

THE BRIEF
Produce a modern website whilst maintaining the existing content allowing users to begin
their own research journeys. The site will also be used to promote BRO more widely.
Raising interest and awareness with a new brand identity. Think Emily’s shop in ‘Bagpuss’.
The solution
Exploring Berkshire’s past was made easy with this robust and visually engaging website where visitors can now discover more about BRO holdings and how to use them, as well as see some of the treasures from their collections.
THE IMPACT
The site has attracted 33% more visits since it’s launch and the feedback on the collated database and user experience has made life easier for visitors and staff alike.
