You are welcome to enter your historical records onto BellBoard. If you have a specific and narrow query - for example, you only rang one quarter peal and you know exactly when it was - we are often happy to help you track it down in the Ringing World records so that it can be entered on BellBoard. The Ringing World and many independent volunteers are improving the completeness and accuracy of BellBoard all the time. There are several complete subsets of records, for example everything rung by one individual, or all the peals or quarter peals for a single tower or even society.
