Explore North Devon

Explore North Devon is a project to develop five community archive collections in the northern Devon area. The project will enable the participating communities to collect and research information about their local heritage and present it to a global audience through the Internet. The project partners are North Devon Record OfficeExternal website - Link opens in a new window and coast & countryside services, North Devon and Torridge District Councils museums serviceExternal website - Link opens in a new window.

The participating community groups already have extensive collections of photographs, documents, objects and oral history recordings and these will be incorporated into the Explore North Devon resource alongside the newly created digital content. Community events, volunteering, training opportunities, heritage trails and classroom resources will be generated by the project.
