A Brief History of DHAeTS
This Brief History of DHAeTS has been written with the intention of recording how it began, how it was developed and run, and the type of training and activity undertaken. Inevitably it is incomplete and may have errors. It is currently at Issue 10, dated October 2023. Additions and corrections will be welcome – use the comment form below or use the Contact Us tab.
It is given here in two formats.
This one is intended for reading on screen, but can of course be printed.
This one has been formatted such that it can be printed as an A5 booklet. To achieve this, use A4 paper and set the printer to print on both sides, flipping at the short edge. (Users of American Letter paper may have to adjust the scaling to make the pages fit). The resultant stack can be folded to make a booklet. Higher resolution copies can be provided on request via Contact Us. A printed copy can be supplied within the UK if so wished, by sending three 2nd class stamps to Roger de Mercado, 9 Kitts Moss Lane, Bramhall, Stockport, SK7 2BG.
