Our first act was to commission Dr Sue Morrison, a professional Oral History and Project Management Consultant, to prepare solid foundations and support us and our volunteers throughout the project. Together, we have recruited a project coordinator, Dr Michael Smith; we have leased an office at 207, Embroidery Mill, Abbey Mill Business Centre; we are equipping the office and digital recorders are on order; we have commissioned experienced artistic professionals to create the project’s digital outputs, including a website, film and photographs; and publicity materials are on the way. We have also organised a launch event – more details to follow… Overall, much hard work has already been done, and more will be done in the coming year; however, we hope that you will join us to make this an enjoyable, productive and rewarding experience. We are looking forward to working with you. Welcome to Paisley’s Enchanted Threads!
