Saltaire project receives £249,000 National Lottery funding
The Saltaire World Heritage Education Association has received £249,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to improve access to the Saltaire Collection. The funding will be used to create permanent exhibition spaces and secure storage for the collection.
The Saltaire World Heritage Education Association has been awarded £249,000 by the National Lottery Heritage Fund for the 'Opening up the Saltaire Collection' project. The Saltaire Collection comprises over 6,000 documents, photographs, maps, plans, newspaper cuttings, artworks, books, and objects from the history of the World Heritage Site. The project will unlock public access to the collection by creating permanent, community-led exhibition spaces and secure storage. The collection is currently stored with limited public access, and visits are by appointment only. The funding will also enable the relocation of the collection to improved storage facilities and the creation of a community classroom for local schools. The Saltaire Collection will be housed in the new Community, Arts, Heritage and Future Technology building planned for the Caroline Street car park.
