Uncovering Letchworth was a two year project funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund's 'Dynamic Collections' programme.

The project comprised a Collections Review, which identified the gaps in our archives; 'Junior Curators' worked with two local primary schools and a local artist exploring students' identity, background and hopes for the future; four Young Curators gained video editing and production skills and each produced a short film about their lived experience in Letchworth; and Community Curators began to capture and share stories from underrepresented groups and individuals in the town.

More details about the project - including the Collections Review Report, the videos, some of the stories we captured and an Impact Report - can be found here:
