Resources
Over the next two years, our Supporting Scotland’s Sporting Heritage project will create resources to help those who create and care for sporting heritage collections. As well as engagement resources to encourage the use of these collections.
The first guidance document our Surveying Officer has created is our ‘Records for Permanent Preservation‘. This provides suggestions of records created by clubs and sporting organisation that should be consider for permanent preservation as part of an archive collection.
