Saltaire Collection We exist to tell the unique story of Saltaire World Heritage Site, past, present and future. Visitors arriving in Saltaire ask for an interpretation centre.

A new charity has been formed to improve educational resources about Saltaire World Heritage Site in West Yorkshire, UK. Teachers look for help in planning class visits. Researchers want to visit the Saltaire Archive. At present, Saltaire struggles to meet these needs. Three organisations have created the new partnership:
- Salt Foundation (holds Victoria Hall in a charitable trust)
- Shipley College (holds the Saltaire Archive, and manages Victoria Hall on behalf
of the Salt Foundation)
- Saltaire United Reformed Church (already provides space for visiting groups). The partnership is called Saltaire World Heritage Education Association (charity no.1158756). Its activity programme is Saltaire Stories: Past, Present and Future. The partnership will co-operate closely with other local groups. Various locations and delivery methods will be used for the Saltaire Stories activity programme. If you’d like to learn more, offer time, skills or a donation, please contact the SWHEA trustees via this page. Saltaire Archive is open Thursdays & Fridays by prior appointment via the Archivist.

🚨 New exhibition alert 🚨

Now online: Working women of Saltaire

In this exhibition we highlight the ‘Everyday Histories’ of women, connected with Saltaire, whose stories challenge the expectations of their times.

Some of these women are remarkable not just for what they achieved, or the fields in which these achievements occurred, but for succeeding in a predominantly male dominated society. Others’ lives are quieter, more ordinary but are still worthy of recognition and demonstrate the resilience of women and their hunger for self-determination.
