In June 2017, The Orkney Natural History Society Museum (Stromness Museum) were successful in securing grant funding from the Orkney LEADER Programme. The grant enabled the museum to become more sustainable and resilient through Collections Development. This included: researching and digitally cataloguing the collections; creation of a new website to make the collections more accessible and encourage more visitors; exploring innovative ways of disseminating information about the collections both online and through exhibitions, outreach and displays.
This project was successfully completed in October 2021. It has improved the visitor experience for the local community and visitors to Stromness Museum.
This project was supported by the Orkney Islands Council’s Community Development Fund and Economic Development Grant Scheme, The John Ellerman Foundation and HIE.
