Collections

The Collections Working Group A Collections Group has been formed to:

  • audit what collections exist within the Derwent Valley Mills WHS Partnership which relate to the World Heritage Site;
  • discuss and agree criteria governing future collecting policy, including the subjects or themes for collecting;
  • identify the period of time and/or geographical area to which collecting relates;
  • discuss and agree limitations on collecting; and form an acquisitions procedure and policy.

In its first year this group submitted a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for funding to improve and promote the collections in the Derwent Valley accredited museums.
