Community Archives and the Heritage Lottery Fund

The Archive Lottery Advisory Service is pleased to announce a one day workshop to be held on Tuesday 9th December 2008 at The National Archives, Kew.

This workshop is aimed at people who might be seeking funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to run a community archive project.  The workshop will be tailored for those involved in community and voluntary organisations, but it may be of interest to people working in heritage organisations, seeking to partner community groups in delivering a community archive project.  The workshop will include presentations and group exercises.
