MUSEUM NEWS

Our digitisation website is now LIVE!

Thanks to Heritage Lottery Funding we were able to undertake a huge project to digitise our entire photographic collection. We wanted to make them more easily accessible for everyone and the resulting website is a fantastic new resource for anyone wanting to research the history of the area or if you just want to take a look back at Helston through the years. The project, although officially at its end is an ever evolving one as our collection grows and new photographs are discovered.
