A New Project for Summer 2012 - SWiB Heritage Business Initiative 2012

This week at SWiB alongside my continued involvment in the cataloguing and data entry of new collections I have embarked upon a new project set to launch in September of this year, coinciding with my spell as acting archive manager for one day a week.


The project will allow businesses to commission SWiB for various heritage related exhibitions and displays celebrating the history of their premisis or business itself by utilising SWiBs expertise, experience and material comprising over 3 million digital sources. The working title of this project is the SWiB Heritage Business Initiative and the project is very much in the planning stages as you can see from the scribbled mind maps and diagrams. However by the deadline date which I have set - The 1st of September 2012 they should be transformed into a detailed business plan and mock brochures.

Obviously I shall be keeping records of progress via the My History blog and opening the project up to debate and suggestions from my followers and I would appreciate any feedback you would like to offer.

Please feel free to leave comments in the below box and I shall keep all followers posted. Also if you know of a business in the Plymouth area that could benefit from this scheme following its launch then please let me know.

And finally a HUGE Thank you to Stacey Dyer from SWiB who has been the biggest help, support and encouragement in the conception of this scheme - I hope I can do her proud and repay her for her continued trust.
