Suffolk’s marvellous archive treasures were in desperate need of a new home. So, underpinned by \u00a311m of National Lottery Heritage Funding, Suffolk County Council and University of Suffolk have partnered to create a new building near Ipswich\u2019s Waterfront \u2013 the \u2018Hold’.<\/p>\n
The Hold is becoming a fabulous memory box with state of art storage\u00a0for future generations in addition to a 200-seat lecture theatre, exhibition spaces, study area and a coffee shop.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nSAF believe that this building should be an educational\u00a0and cultural\u00a0epicentre of excellence providing a platform for telling the stories of Suffolk, helping to make Ipswich a national destination and to put Suffolk people back in touch with their history and heritage.<\/p>\n
As an independent voice, funder and volunteer organisation SAF will work alongside SCC and UoS to help realise the ambition of the building, its operation and outreach across Suffolk. Specifically, SAF will help to:<\/p>\n
Develop wider ownership from Suffolk\u2019s people whilst helping to fashion an interior that inspires, impresses and engages visitors and exhibitors.
\nBuild interest and passion amongst a new and younger audience and support the delivery of stories through video and social network platforms.
\nHarness the creative energy of Suffolk people to generate excitement, inspire and tell new stories both in the Hold and throughout Suffolk.
\nLink exhibitions and storytelling with other Ipswich cultural, historical and educational endeavours.<\/p>\n
SAF will do this by:<\/p>\n
