ARCHIVES in Gloucestershire could be housed in new building in Gloucester thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The cash, expected to total more than £1.2million by the end of the year will be added to a pool already set aside to give a budget of £2.6million for the For the Record project to keep the records accessible for people in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire.
