[cid:image004.png@01D2EC03.75BAF750] Denbighshire Archive Service is incredibly excited to announce that we have secured a £130,000 Research Resources Award from the Wellcome for our North Wales Hospital Collection. This grant will support a 2 year project enabling us to employ three project staff to catalogue, conserve, and create an online catalogue for this unique collection. The North Wales Hospital was the main institution in North Wales for the care of the mentally ill for almost 150 years, opening in October 1848 and closing in 1995. The records are a vital resource for academics and medical professionals in tracking the development of institutional psychiatric care and treatment during an exceptional period of innovation in mental health treatments, but is also of great interest to our general users. We will begin recruitment for the posts in July and the project will start in October. We will be posting regular project updates and document highlights on our blog and Facebook pages.
