The Challenge
Cotesbach Educational Trust is an East Midlands-based charity dedicated to educating people about the local area’s heritage, environment and the arts.
Supported by Arts Council and Heritage Lottery funding, the trust launched its ‘Re-writing the archives – bringing history to life’ project. This involved inviting five professional playwrights to each write a short radio play inspired by their research into the charity’s extensive archives.
The Solution
To showcase their work – and promote the wealth of material in the archives – we were commissioned to produce an innovative microsite within the trust’s website. The result was an interactive, multi-media site using CSS3 animations to host the audio plays.
Proud of Our Achievements
This imaginatively designed microsite has successfully promoted the work of the charity, while educating a wider audience about its archives and the history of the Cotesbach estate.
