7.4 Archives, Museums and Heritage Centres

Details are provided below of organisations in Derbyshire and Derby City with archive collections, displays or other interpretative facilities of interest for understanding the Valley’s cultural development and landscape resource. Further details of archive collections curated by these organisations are provided in Chapter 5. As noted in that chapter, it would be useful to expand this list to include archive repositories beyond the County, both nationally and internationally. This was not possible, unfortunately, within the time restraints of the current project, but this ambition is encapsulated in Strategic Objective 1A.
