In the project Meath County Archive worked with conservators to repair a set of 9 minute books &amp; 7 wages books from the company.<\/p>\n<p>The collection has a large series of correspondence covering over 80 years of the business. This details the contract &amp; business interests of the company &amp; highlights how international their remit was. The listing of this series is essential in understanding the reach &amp; influence of the company, as well as offering an insight into broader research areas such as industry and design.<\/p>\n<p>Cataloguing work on this series began in January 2023 with our 2nd year of funding from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport &amp; Media under the Creative Ireland Programme. Meath County Archive focused on employing a temporary archivist to arrange &amp; list the collection of 76 boxes. The post was filled in June 2023 &amp; work has been ongoing to date. This is a large undertaking &amp; needed some initial work researching companies &amp; associates. To date the project has listed 52 boxes of correspondence &amp; has highlighted the reach of the Clayton company even offering some insights into their eventual decline.<\/p>\n<p>As we enter the 4th &amp; final year of cataloguing work on the collection with Creative Ireland we hope that this body of work &amp; resulting catalogue will lead to many more opportunities for research &amp; collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":34154,"template":"","class_list":["post-34153","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Clayton Woolen Mills Project - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In 2022 Meath County Archives received funding from Creative Ireland which began our first significant work to date on the Clayton Mills collection.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/clayton-woolen-mills-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Clayton Woolen Mills Project - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 2022 Meath County Archives received funding from Creative Ireland which began our first significant work to date on the Clayton Mills collection.
