BMT

Records at Risk

BMT is one of four archives awarded a grant from @nationalarchivesuk to salvage a valuable archive before it is lost forever. Digitising footage, using facilities at alive studios to build an ‘archive of the ordinary’.  This kickstarter funding will enable ‘Ordin-archive’ to interact with the community, to prompt memories, and champion under-represented stories in order to link working class history, music, family memories and public life.
