About

Cornwall Council awarded a contract to Surface Impression for the development of a new website and digital collections system for Kresen Kernow, its archive and local studies centre.

The project aimed to bring together the Cornish Studies Library, Cornwall Record Office, and Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Record into a purpose-built facility, creating the world's largest collection of records, books, photographs, maps, and audio-visual materials for researching Cornwall's history, archaeology, and culture.

The website was designed to be user-centred, encouraging exploration, engagement, and sharing, and to provide the best possible experience for visitors, researchers, and learners.

Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the project had outcomes based on enabling over a million people to engage with the collections.

The contract value was AUD 76,000.
