Marple Civic Society has a large collection of archive documents including minutes, newsletters, newspaper cuttings, miscellaneous reports and correspondence.
We also have an extensive collection of photographs which have been digitised and uploaded to our website. The originals are on long term loan to SMBC Library Services.
At a meeting on 7th January 2015 Alan and Gillian Postill met with Aimee Teare (Senior Programme Management and External Funding Officer) and Margaret Myerscough (Senior Librarian, Heritage and Archive) to discuss a project to sort, collate, evaluate and preserve our other documents to make them available for research and general interest. It was agreed that a "Skills for the Future" trainee could carry out the work starting later this year.
"Skills for the Future" is a Heritage Lottery Fund Programme, run by Stockport MBC, to provide paid training placements of one year to people looking to work in the heritage sector.
