Nottinghamshire Archives can provide depositors with displays of original archives in lockable showcases (3 x 2 feet) with accompanying captions. These will support exhibitions being held at local and community venues.
The preservation and security of original archives is very important, and loans of original archives are subject to the venue's heat and light sources and suitable stewarding arrangements. As an alternative, we can provide facsimiles of archives which can be incorporated onto mobile display boards of various sizes.
