Preserving the Stories of New England

Helping You Protect Your Past

We created a service that brings everything together, supporting organisations from start to finish. Backed by our ever-growing network of local archivists, we provide specialised expertise that goes beyond the traditional.

While we love working with historical societies, we also cater specifically to the unique needs of family historians and sporting organisations. Whether it’s writing grant applications, planning large-scale digitisation projects, or working alongside your team to preserve and organise your collection, we offer flexible support tailored to your specific goals.

You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like.

Turn Ideas Into Reality with Grant Funding

Great projects begin with a clear and simple plan. If you have a vision for your community organisation but aren’t sure how to fund it or where to start, we are here to help.

We work with you to turn your goals, into a clear “roadmap” for the future. We don’t just help you find the right grants; we help you tell your story in a way that funders understand and appreciate.

Our mission is to take the stress out of planning and paperwork, leaving you free to focus on what matters. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing vision, we help your organisation be in a position to secure funding and get the support you deserve.

Keeping Stories Alive with Digitisation

Your stories, photos and paper archives, are the heart of your community’s history. However, paper fades and old photographs can become fragile over time.

Our Digitisation Service is here to ensure your precious memories are protected, organised and easy for everyone to enjoy. By moving archives into a digital format, you can easily share your organisations legacy with the wider community and future generations.

You have spent years building history; let us help you make sure it’s never lost.

Protecting Your Digital Files with Digital Preservation

Planning today prevents problems tomorrow. Storing photos and documents on a computer is a great first step, but as technology changes, those files can sometimes become hard to open or accidentally lost.

Our Digital Preservation service helps you look after your computer files just as carefully as you would a physical scrapbook. We help you create a simple, reliable system to keep your digital records safe, organised and easy to access.

We take the guesswork out of technology, leaving you with a clear, user-friendly plan that protects your organisations’ legacy for years to come.
