This is a community archiving and reminiscence project directed at the heritage and history of the Shrublands Community in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

The Shrublands Community is in the centre of the Magdalen Estate, Gorleston, within the borough of Great Yarmouth and forms a very important integral area of Gorleston and the borough itself. This area is within one of the country's most deprived wards with community esteem, high unemployment and other associated issues. This project will assist with addressing these issues with a less disengaged, more informed and enhanced community.

It is intended that once the Shrublands Youth & Adult Centre site archive is completed then the project will extend to other parts of Gorleston and neighbouring village Bradwell, all of which have a wealth of history and heritage archiving potential.
