and 1.19|To undertake a wide range of activities to assure the
preservation, accessibility and recovery of Suffolk’s
nationally and internationally significant archives.
The CIO initially focused on providing grants to support the
building and equipping of a new archive and heritage
centre in Ipswich. This facility, is called ‘The Hold’ has been
built through a partnership between the Suffolk County
Council and the University of Suffolk. Although the CIO will
be independent of both Suffolk County Council and The
University of Suffolk, close liaison with the project is
planned; however, the CIO will not undertake any activities
in the furtherance of the running of these businesses.
Initial fundraising for this project was begun by The Friends
of Suffolk Record Office. The new CIO will now take the
major role in fundraising for ‘The Hold’ and future
significant projects of its type deemed necessary to support
the archive service, beginning with the transfer of funds
raised to date. This will allow The Friends of Suffolk Record
Office to focus on their main objects; that being the
purchase of at risk archives relevant to the county. The
formation of the CIO is not intended to exclude the Friends
of Suffolk Record Office or any other local history charity
fundraising for the archive service.
It is anticipated that the CIO is supporting future projects of
this nature which aim to improve the facilities and services
of all branches of the Suffolk Archive Service.
The CIO is being run by trustees with a broad range of
experience in both fundraising and the archive sector, and
benefits from advice of the qualified professionals
employed bySuffolk CountyCouncil on ‘The Hold’project.|
