The brief

1.

Project Aim: Cornwall's archive collection is currently located at Cornwall Records Office, Old County Hall, Truro.

The existing facility is in a poor state of repair and does not meet the required standards for the safe storage of such a valuable and historically important collection.

The project is funded jointly by Cornwall Council and The Heritage Lottery Fund.
