As a partnership we will build closer working relationships within the region and beyond, forming a new community of practice to digitally map textile heritage assets across a network of heritage venues, archives andcommercial organisations. Through creating this framework for engagement we will encourage input to grow regionally, nationally and internationally. We will create a cohesive and comprehensive open access digitalresource which showcases textile heritage and provides a model for community curation and engagement to enrich narratives and understanding across the sector. This project will serve as a forerunner to sharedambitions to create a new virtual institute or centre of excellence for textiles in Lancashire; bringing together academic, curatorial, creative and community expertise in a hub for education, research, cultural engagement and contemporary practice
