The Hold

The Hold – A Suffolk Archives Service for the 21st Century. The project is supported by heritage organisations across Suffolk and in April 2018, received funding support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Located within Ipswich’s unique and regenerating Waterfront, The Hold will house the bulk of Suffolk’s nationally and internationally significant archives. It will be the engine for a transformed, audience-focused service reaching out to diverse communities in Ipswich, the county and the nation, through its activity and digital programmes, engaging people in new and exciting ways.
