Grimsby: Volunteers needed for heritage project

Volunteers will take part in a three-hour session at the museum or at home each week

A North East Lincolnshire museum is recruiting volunteers to help display some of its artefacts online.

Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre's Dynamic Collections Project is being supported by the National Lottery.

Those who take part will receive training to ensure the safety of the objects and learn how to create digital content.

Volunteers will be expected to commit to a weekly three-hour session at the museum or at home.

Dynamic Collections Project officer, Alistair Eachus said: "It's an exciting time at the Fishing Heritage Centre and we need your help to make this project the best it can be.

"Throughout the process, myself and the team will be going through a host of interesting objects steeped in local history.

"After all the hard work spent collating the pieces, there will also be an exhibition to showcase what we've put together."

He said those volunteering would also have the opportunity to uncover stories about a range of items in the collection and gain insight into the area's rich history.

The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with North Lincolnshire Museum.
