Walsall Council has received confirmation of funding via the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) to deliver: A new, digital archive project to deepen our understanding of Walsall's cultural evolution.

Celebrating identity, heritage and shared experience.
Through the digitisation of thousands of images and audio history recordings, in partnership with Walsall Council Archives, Walsall for All, and Walsall College, the project will platform inter-generational and inter-cultural representation within a more diverse, accessible and usable digital archive platform - publicly accessible into the future. Creating an Archive for All, a people's archive, representative of the Borough's evolving identity as captured by local people.
