Final evaluation report of the Heritage @ Huddersfield Project

This report forms the summative evaluation for the Heritage @ Huddersfield project (R2 delivery project) funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and University of Huddersfield and running from 2013-2017. Formative evaluation was carried out in 2015 and 2016 which contributed to the development of the project whilst running. The project aimed to create a beacon centre and Service through which the University’s heritage collections would be accessible to everyone. It was anticipated that the project would secure the long term future of the collections through conservation and cataloguing, and enable new ways for audiences to learn from and engage with them. Securing the future of the collections would mean new and wider ways could be developed to engage with audiences and to interpret the collections.
