Hello from the Ouseburn Trust, the development trust for the Ouseburn Valley.

I'm not going to put on much information, because we maintain the official Valley site at [www.ouseburnvalley.org] and also will be expanding our own site in the New Year.

The Trust site at [www.ouseburntrust.org] is currently just a holding site, but in 2006 it will be transformed into an online archive for the material of the Ouseburn Trust Heritage Group as part of our Living Archive Project.

Anyone who is interested in heritage, regeneration, changes, and/or digital photography - please look out for opportunities to contribute to our archive through our recently-funded and soon-to-be installed community access PCs. Computers, scanners, sound recording equipment and cameras will be made available to all those wishing to document the Valley and their life within it, past and present.

Your aspirations and visions for the future are also of great interest to the Trust, as we try to piece together a truly grass-roots vision of the valley's development over the next 20 years.

For more information on this and any other aspect of the Ouseburn Trust's work, please contact
