Hertford Museum has ambitious plans to make the collections more accessible to visitors, and to ensure it continues to provide a valuable service in the years to come. The aims of the development project are:
| Supporting Documentation |
|
Access Audit (1.17MB) Access Plan (300K) Condition Survey (100K) Conservation Management Plan (960K) Audience Development Plan (1.98M/zip) 
|
AIM 1
To tell the story of Hertford and the surrounding villages through a newly constructed gallery space on the first floor
AIM 2
For ALL of our visitors to enjoy access to ALL public areas of the museum, through the installation of a lift.
AIM 3
To increase access to collections through the installation of a resource room on the ground floor
AIM 4
To develop the role of the museum in the surrounding villages for which it collects
AIM 5
To increase learning for all in the museum
AIM 6
To ensure that everyone can access the museum’s important collections of photographs
We are in the process of applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund to help us achieve these important aims. It is estimated that the total cost will be close to £1 million and will include repairs to all areas of the museum. We are expected to raise about 10% of this ourselves (£90,000) and this target is progressing well. If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, please do contact us and we can tell you how you can help.
Last year, we were successful in getting just under £29,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (Project Planning). With this money we were able to get three important plans produced (Access, Audience Development and Conservation Management) which we will be using to work towards our aims. You can view each of these plans here.
