Why Use Archives
Whether you are planning to celebrate an anniversary, share memorabilia for others to enjoy, or you want to capture and preserve stories for eternity, archives provide you with a window to the past and many ways to engage with them.
This is where Past Forward comes in.
Archive services up and down the country offer the professional knowledge, experience and qualifications needed to help support you with your heritage project.
Planning and delivering any project is a collaborative effort and getting advice and support from the right people is an essential component of success. The project will always be yours but working with people who have specialist skills and knowledge will always improve the outcomes that you are looking to deliver.
Archive services can help in many ways:
They have extensive experience in researching, conserving, exhibiting, digitizing, cataloguing, collecting and providing access to archives.
They house vast collections of material of potential use and value to your project
And they can provide training, services and advice to help make your project a success
But they can only offer this support if the costs have been budgeted for during the project planning phase.
