Catcher Media have been busy with the Development Phase of the Herefordshire Life Through a Lens project. This involved meeting people, hearing stories, recording interviews, putting on seven taster exhibitions of Derek Evans photos and working with volunteers to assess the studios archive (which contains 200,000 negatives, 730 exhibition prints and journals). Alongside this they managed to raise £17,280 match funding from The Beaumont Trust; Ross, Leominster and Ledbury Town Councils; Wye Valley Brewery, The Elmley Foundation and to our individual crowd-fund supporters.
All of this work has meant they were able to submit a second round bid to Heritage Lottery Fund, which was submitted on November 1st. They will find out in February 2017 if the project is successful, and then hope to deliver a three-year project to capture the oral histories, share the photos, create films, offer opportunities and create accessible heritage for future generations.
