We are delighted to announce that Kresen Kernow, Cornwall's new archive centre, has secured £11.7 million funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund!
Kresen Kernow will be an exemplary modern archive and library space, bringing together the world’s largest collection of manuscripts, books and documents related to Cornwall, as well as Cornwall Record Office, the Cornish Studies Library and the Cornwall and Scilly Historic Environment Record, for the first time.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Cornwall Council, it will provide a bespoke building, excellent digital facilities, dynamic volunteering opportunities and a diverse range of events, exhibitions and activities which will improve access and attract wider audiences to celebrate and share in Cornwall’s rich and distinct history.
