A £250,000 project to make Blaenau Gwent’s local heritage accessible to as many people as possible is now off the ground.
Blaenau Gwent’s Access to Heritage initiative aims to make the borough’s richhistory and heritage more widely available to visit and interact with, thanks to a £250,000 funding package from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Welsh Government’s museum, archives and libraries organisation CyMAL, and Blaenau Gwent council. The project has employed a heritage officer, Frank Olding, who has been joined by access to heritage officer Emyr Morgan and document officer Arran Rees.
The team is now working on a new website to make community archives accessible, using resources from places such as Gwent Archives, Blaina Heritage Action Group Museum, Tredegar and District Museum, and Friends of St Iltyd’s Church.
