Hag stones are thought to have magical properties and be able to ward off the evil eye.

These stones can be found in the folklorist Theo Brown's archives, which contain fascinating records relating to Devon folklore, legends and mythology.

Who are the real heroes in this photo? 🤔

For Day 2 of Explore Your Archive Week, we want to celebrate all the archivists around the world who preserve and provide access to archives in so many different ways. You're all heroes to us!

An archivist sits at a table, writing on an acid-free folder with a pencil. Next to her on the table is an acid-free box, a roll of unbleached cotton tape and a pot of brass paperclips. A very happy-looking person pops up behind the archivist holding a box of 'Heroes' chocolates. In the background are library rolling stacks.
