Many of our recordings are available for public use at the Cornwall Centre in Redruth. The archive’s cornerstone project commencing in 2003 was ‘Cornish Braids’, which was an oral history programme that was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. This initiative was a community-based study of Cornwall’s culture based on the themes of work, religion, politics, leisure and social relationships. Additional funding for the archive’s development came in 2005 from the European Social Fund. Themed collections now cover such subjects as the cultural history of Cornish Methodism, border identity in the Tamar Valley, mining life in West Cornwall and the oral traditions of Cornish descendants across the world. The archive also welcomes donations of film and audio recordings from the general public.

Opening Times:
Monday to Friday: 10.00am to 6.00 pm
