The History Centre is a joint project between Hull City Council and the University of Hull. £7.7m has been awarded to the partnership by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A state-of-the-art home for the City's written heritage is being built, and scheduled for completion in autumn 2009, which will transform the way we give access to Hull's historical archives and local studies resources. We will shortly be issuing a tender for a removal company to undertake the transfer of the collections to the new building, and would welcome comments and feedback from other repositories with similar experience to help us identify companies that could be included in our invitation to tender. best wishes Simon Simon Wilson Senior Archivist Brynmor Jones Library University of Hull Hull HU6 7RX Tel 01482 465864 http://www.hull.ac.uk/arc http://www.historycentrehull.org.uk
