Community Gatherers Project

Our “Community Gatherers” project takes an innovative approach to strengthening our collections from Gloucester’s black and Asian communities and is supported by the National Archives “testbed” fund.  We’ve commissioned eight “Community Gatherers” from within the communities themselves.  Their mission:  to locate- or create- material for permanent preservation in the Archives, to ensure their voices are heard by future generations.   Two of our Gatherers are established film-makers; the others have chosen to record oral history interviews on a variety of topics, ranging from weddings to allotments.   

This is a new venture and we’re learning a lot along the way, but our first interview is now safely accessioned, with more to come.
