The Role of the Archivist

My role within the community is the Storykeeper. My passion in life is the ­art of storytelling – so much can be learnt from exploring the world of fiction. It has the power to bring a wealth of knowledge, heritage and most importantly excitement into every individual’s life.

I came to this community wanting to find a sanctuary to share and store my collection of tales. The expanse of books that I have gathered over the years was becoming unbearable for my little old cottage – particularly following the closing of local libraries has left me with.

Not only can I now provide my fellow habitants with legends of our unique and magical landscapes, but I can also help archive their tales and experiences. So many interesting people come to explore these landscapes and often they will come across my cavern of literate treasures. Although I may sometimes come across as being slightly too inquisitive and eccentric, I love nothing more than to hear their stories and try to advise them through passing on advice from my favourite novels and tales.

The transfer of knowledge is a fundamental part of each role here in the community, however it is my role to encourage this sharing of wisdom between the appropriate persons. I have also taken on the conventional responsibilities of an archivist through collecting, organising and controlling records to help our inhabitants find and understand any information which could benefit the life or well-being of each individual. I have therefore gotten to know each of my neighbours on a very personal level.
