Discover, Inspire, Create

The archives at Heritage Quay inspire students of all ages across all the arts. Our school workshops combine our collections with performance and visual arts. Our family days offer lots of opportunities to engage with the arts, from learning how to conduct to recording your very own composition on good old vinyl. The Big Draw sees primary school children using clay and lino cutting/printing techniques to respond to photographs and sound recordings. And The Cricket Balls and the Mountains was an installation piece created by a University art student and inspired by our sports collection – see it here www.eleanorfriston.co.uk.

Alternatively, search our collections for a piece to inspire your own artistic journey.

Heritage Quay at the University of Huddersfield is home to a unique and internationally important collection of archives. As well as documents like 100 year old passports and a series of colourful Rugby League Cup Final tickets spanning 60 years, we’ve artefacts such as Fabrics of India sample books from the 1860s, and a range of vintage rugby and cricket equipment.

The archives have been the inspiration for students of all ages. As well as school workshops including clay, lino printing and drawing activities, primary school children take part in the Big Draw at Heritage Quay where they used a range of techniques to respond to photographs and sound recordings. The Cricket Balls and the Mountains was an installation piece created by a University art student and inspired by our sports collection – see it here www.eleanorfriston.co.uk.
