Main challenges are funding and voluntary labour

As a self-financing voluntary Society managing a Community Archive based in a community building our two main challenges are funding and voluntary labour. We need occasional grants for equipment and acquisition of relevant historical material and with cut backs in local authority funding we anticipate that this is going to be more difficult in the future. Professional advice from our local museums development officer and the regional hub museums has been essential in the development of the archive, in maintaining our collection, and in providing training opportunities for volunteers. It will difficult for us to maintain standards in the future if this support is not available to us in the future.
