Big News from the Bristol Owners Heritage Trust!
After a couple of years of negotiation the Bristol Owners Heritage Trust has, at long long last, just managed to buy the entire Bristol Cars Ltd archive including all the blueprints and plans for all the cars, and all correspondence from the 1940s to the close of play.
The plan chests and filing cabinets et cetera take up a good 21 m² and there are thousands of items to catalogue, so transporting, temporary storage, archiving, indexing, finance, workflow and workforce are all going to be a challenge and will need our careful project management and planning before we even start.
Thank you to David Fletcher of Wyles Hardy for his patience throughout this bumpy process.
And big thanks to BODA for kindly helping funding us via your annual subscriptions.
The BOHT will keep you all informed. Phew!
Yours in Bristol
Stefan Cembrowicz
