To mark the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence, West Sussex Record Office is holding special viewings of the unique document that has become known as the Sussex Declaration.
As well as the opportunity to see and learn more about the Sussex Declaration itself, there will also be tours behind the scenes (except on 21 August when, instead, there will be a short talk by Professor Danielle Allen who led the Declaration Resources Project at Harvard University) and the chance to see some of the many other documents that show the shared history of West Sussex and the United States over the centuries.
