       Islamic Heritage Project

PCS are proud to announce the ‘Islamic Heritage Project’, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The aim of the project is to collect stories and testimonies from various Islamic communities living in the North East of England and to present them to Tyne & Wear Archives for the social and educational benefit of the community.

This unique grass roots project is also offering professional oral history training for community volunteers, who will work alongside an experienced team to gather stories and testimonies from Islamic communities living in the North East. Using interview techniques volunteers will find out about all aspects of people’s lives and heritage including childhood, environment, work, lifestyle, family, traditions and culture.
