Hours, logs and requests: It all adds up at the Garden City Collection

We had a good response to our blog about our minibus service, so we thought we’d provide some more data-driven insights in to the work of our Garden City Collection team.

If you’re not familiar with the Garden City Collection (where have you been!), it is where we keep historical artefacts that tell the story of Letchworth Garden City and the Garden City Movement.

It’s safe to say that the services of the Collection team are always in demand. Whether it’s putting together an awesome package of events for exhibitions, or appearing on TV to discuss utopian ideas, there’s not much the team can’t do.

And it’s not just the Collection team who help keep things in order and provide so much historical context to the world’s first Garden City, there is also a dedicated and incredibly valuable cohort of volunteers who help as well.

So, what have the Collection Team been up to so far in 2017? We’ll let the numbers speak for themselves.
