Brrrr!
This was the snowy scene – with families enjoying some scenic sledging – which greeted Reflections readers in January 1994.
In this edition, Peter White looked at the dissemination of information and uncovered the many and varied questions posed to staff in Chesterfield Library’s Local Studies section.
It would become a pivotal year in the technological revolution which ultimately brought the internet into mainstream use – drastically changing how information was accessed, communicated and shared. But, as 1994 dawned, we learned how reference books and microfilm informed the research of people, both locally and from around the world.
Then, as now, Reflections celebrated the wildlife and nature of Derbyshire and readers learned how, due to its landscape, the county was home to many unusual bird species.
And, if you were looking to start the New Year with a new car, Reflections advertised some of the latest luxury models, with a new BMW costing just £15,995!
