Bottesford Heritage Project
Location: Leicestershire
Under the working title "Bottesford Living History", the project has the objective of preserving the communal memory of its history and changes that have taken place within living memory.
Among other things, it aims to assemble an electronic archive of oral history, photographs, maps and written material with emphasis on change in Bottesford in the last 60 years or so.
The archive will be accessible in a variety of ways. These will include CD/DVD study sets, internet, publications, exhibitions and drama. For instance, a set of leaflets will be published on geology, landscape history and a heritage discovery trail, geology, landscape history and other topics (budget permitting), and there will be a booklet describing past village life in the Vale of Belvoir.
| Local Community Involvement / Partnerships: |
| Though rooted in the local history society and conservation group, wider participation is sought via a public launch scheduled for Sept 22nd 2006, and of course by word of mouth contacts. |
| Grants: |
Heritage Lottery Fund: £22566
Nationwide Building Society: £3500
