The aim of this project is to digitise all our original archive documents and images for security and posterity.
Poole Maritime Trust was founded in 1972 with a vision to secure the historical record of Poole Harbour and its Environs. The Trust is manned by volunteer Trustees on behalf of over 230 current members. The archive consists of over 100 thousand documents and 200 thousand original images going back to Roman times. The Trust has also amassed a library of books used for research and education.
The money raised will be used to digitise all the records and images to make them more accessible and for security and posterity education and research.
