<p>Government recognises the enormous contribution that mining communities have given
and continue to give to this country and funds several cultural projects in mining
areas through the Heritage Lottery Fund and Historic England.</p><p>One project, a
£270,000 grant for the North East England Mining Archive and Research Centre at Sunderland
University, will preserve, catalogue and provide access to the archives of the regional
coal industry. Heritage Lottery Fund’s Your Heritage scheme also provided funding
to the Beamish Museum in County Durham for their Mining Memories project which worked
with 40 schools in specific former coalfield communities.</p>
