All Our Stories

Are you a community group with All Our Stories funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund? If so - you may be interested to know that there are universities and museums that could help you with your project.

Universities and museums are home to many researchers with a wealth of experience in researching our heritage: from the best ways to use library and archive resources; from specialist knowledge of specific time periods to expertise in artefact types such as pottery, bones or buildings; from social history to the latest digital technologies that can be used to reconstruct our past.

As part of the Connected Communities programme, the AHRC funded 18 universities and museums to help their researchers work more closely with community groups as they undertake their All Our Stories projects - scroll down to see these 18 institutions and find out more about their expertise. Support is on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, and if you are interested in receiving researcher support for your All Our Stories project please click here or for further information email heritage@uwe.ac.uk.
