New DTRG Compact Discs Two new DTRG CD’s have been recently produced. The first gathers together the survey report, newsletter articles and survey plans from the Beckamoor Combe streamworks surveys carried out in the early 1990s. The second covers the clearance and survey works carried out by DTRG volunteers at Great Roughtor mine, Burrator between 2008 & 2010. It includes the original ink plans, final digital plans, record sheets, self guided walk details and numerous photographs of the sites and of the volunteers at work. This will be of particular interest to those who worked on the project. A further CD is in production for the Upper Merrivale excavations, which will include reports, plans and photographs from the event at the birth of the DTRG. This is due to be completed in time for the AGM. DTRG Publications for Sale To celebrate the 20th year of the DTRG the back catalogue of 40 newsletters along with the Upper Merrivale Excavation reports, and a range of project information has been digitised and published in CD form. The library of CD’s provides a valuable resource for those wishing to carry out their own research into tinworking.
The new digital newsletters allow you to complete your collection, save shelf space and search through the contents more easily. You can print entire newsletters or individual pages to take with you on expeditions without damaging your original copies. The project CD’s gather together as much available information as possible on the particular topic. They include pictures, survey plans, and reports. A user guide is included on every CD to show you how to search for key words or phrases using Adobe Acrobat Reader. A further CD is in production for the Brimpts Mine project. DTRG Books
