The Saltaire World Heritage Education Association (SWHEA) is a Charitable Incorporated organisation, founded in 2014 with the object of advancing education, for the public benefit, relating to the industrial heritage of Saltaire. SWHEA was established to manage the Saltaire Collection of historical objects for Shipley College who hold it in trust for the community.
The Collection consists of over 7,000 objects, plans, documents, maps, and images that support interpretation of Saltaire’s history, and is currently housed in a designated space, within Shipley College’s Exhibition Building’s Learning Resource Centre. Access to the collection is therefore by appointment at present. It’s day-to-day care, conservation and management is organised by committed and experienced volunteers supported by trustees.
SWHEA have recently received a National Heritage Lottery Fund Grant to initiate the ‘Opening Up the Saltaire Collection’ project which will enable the following:
- Fit out exhibition spaces in the new Community, Arts, Heritage and Future Technology Centre on Caroline Street, central to Saltaire
- Relocate the collection to the new building’s bespoke store
- Ensure community participation and collaboration in display decisions
- Develop free to access co-produced displays
- Ensure a wider range of people become involved in Saltaire’s heritage
- Ensure Saltaire’s heritage is better identified and understood.
The brief
Based on the project’s outputs and the key outcomes, the Project Management Group require the creation of an evaluation plan and, at the start of the project, will provide base line assessments of the levels ofinfluence on the project from the community advisory groups and the level of identification and understanding of Saltaire’s heritage. The evaluation consultant will establish impact assessments to evaluate the progress, changes, and benefits of the project to each participating group.
At the end of the project, we would like to know the following :
- How many people from different communities have actively engaged in delivering the project outputs that support inclusive access to heritage
- What impact has the project had on the communities themselves and their engagement with heritage
- How has the project changed the Collection’s identification of heritage that is relevant to diverse audiences
- Has the project changed future interpretations of Saltaire’s heritage
- Has our sustainability improved and can this be evidenced.
