> I am pleased to announce that we have set up The Mills Archive Trust as a
> charity registered in the UK (no 1091534) to develop and maintain an
> archive
> and resource library specialising in traditional mills and milling.
>
> Traditional mills include mills and similar structures that are or were
> powered by wind, water, muscle or other sources. Milling includes
> millwrighting and the place of the mill in social as well as technological
> and architectural history.
>
> We already have a great deal of material of historical interest from the
> UK,
> North America and many other countries. We are now actively seeking funds
> to
> house our collections and permit free public access.
>
> We are already developing (with the aid of a GBP50,000 grant from the UK's
> Heritage Lottery Fund) our online catalogue, which will be freely
> available
> to you at www.millarchive.com The catalogue will have a number of novel
> features including allowing on-line addition of research notes by remote
> experts and email alerts when items of interest are changed or added.
