The Maltonian Website - for Malton School
The Maltonian Archive
The School has a large collection of archive material: books; magazines; news clippings; photographs; prospectuses, paintings; videos; badges; trophies; commemorative plaques; items of old uniform.
Many of these items are filed and indexed, and visitors can view them by arrangement. Some have been kept in the school, unearthed when rooms have been cleared out, or found up in the loft, or cupboards; others have been donated by former students or their relatives. The School tries to preserve them as best it can for the interest of current and future generations.
Gradually over time all the archive material (which is not copyright) will be scanned or photographed and be made available on this website.
Documents will normally be in pdf format, and photographs to a screen resolution of about 800 x 600 pixels. Higher resolution scans do exist in many cases, and can be sent to people should they wish to produce a good quality printout.
If anyone has any photographs or documents that do not appear on the site, we would be very grateful for a copy; if not electronic, then originals can be scanned and returned.
