Heritage Group History
Location: Newcastle Upon Tyne
The Heritage Group is a sub-group of the Ouseburn Trust, a charity and development trust established in 1996 to ensure the sensitive regeneration of the Lower Ouseburn Valley ('built on the past and looking to a sustainable future')
The group has 6 long standing members, but has recruited another 8 volunteers thanks to this new archiving and heritage project.
The project aims to provide:- An online archive of image and community memoirs about the Ouseburn and its regeneration.
- Public access computers, scanner, digital camera, laptop, projector and screen.
- Four new heritage walks.
- 4 new trained volunteer walk leaders.
- 5000 leaflets about the group and heritage in the valley (for distribution).
- 3 newsletters over 2006-2007.
Work has begun on devising a training programme for new walk leaders, with 1 volunteer shadowing the work of the group.
Work will commence on the 10th April on setting up the Ouseburn Heritage Archive using a group of 5 volunteers plus existing group member Steve Ellwood.
The group will start work on describing and cataloging our existing files and photographs and new archival information.
