NCT Documents Archiving Project

Appeal for Financial Project Support

Many of you will have seen our Save St James Tram & Bus Depot campaign and as part of that we have been working to secure the last Northampton Corporation Transport documents that were left in the loft space of the office building.

For over ten years they have remained there in the care of Church's, the building owners.

Now the building is up for sale (now sstc) Church''s have been very gracious and allowed NTH access to the depot (pictures to follow) and secure the documents. We are working alongside and with the guidance of Northamptonshire Archives and Heritage Service who are very supportive and their knowledge is invaluable.

There is an incredible amount to sort through and it will take time to sift and catalogue. We have secured a room for two months across the road at the The Doddridge & St James Community Centres who have given us a special charity rate of hire, and we are very grateful to them.

So, we would like to extend that two month period for as long as we can, but certainly for at least six months, in order that we do not need to rush the project. We need to raise at least £1000 but the more we raise the longer we have!

So, can you make a donation to the room hire costs to help us with this important project that will save important historical, NCT documents?

We would be extremely appreciative of any money you can spare to help us with this project. 🙏
