"Heritage Skills for the Future" - Archive Project

 In July 2015 "Heritage Skills for the Future" trainees Hayley Du Buisson and Sophie Kembrey delivered the first part of their project for the Civic Society.

Starting with several boxes of mixed documents dating back to the 1960's they sorted, evaluated and catalogued the entire collection.  The collection is now available to members and friends for research and general interest.  
The catalogue/ index of contents can be found HERE or by going to our website news page and looking under "Book and Document Archive" then "Archived Society Documents" 

Thanks to Hayley and Sophie, Stockport MBC Heritage Department and the Heritage Lottery Fund - Skills for the Future Programme, who funded the project.

Part 2 of their project, the video oral history interview with our president Angus Yeaman, will be delivered shortly and will be made available to the public on our website and on loan to members and friends.
