Kids take over MNH archives

To take place on November 25

Douglas primary school pupils will take over Manx National Heritage archives.

MNH staff need not worry, though - it's only for the day.

Over the past three months, the organisation has been working with years 5 and 6 students at St Thomas' Primary School to prepare for the occasion.

'Kids Take Over Day' is an annual event where museums across Britain are taken over by young people - 'Explore Your Archives' is an initiative by National Archives, aimed at engaging people with history in their local area.
