 | Outside the Box Bringing the Waller Collection to Life |  | |||
The Waller collection was deposited at the County Record Office as a loan by Lady Viola Waller during the 1940s and 50s. It was put up for sale by her descendants in October 2005 and the County Record Office purchased the archive in 2007 with help from various funding bodies, local groups/organisations and individuals. The Outside the Box project was created in order to coordinate the purchase, care and use of the collection and will run until the end of December 2009. |   | |

| Events Programme | | |
| Travelling Exhibition A travelling exhibition inspired by the Waller Collection will be visiting a variety of venues around Warwickshire during summer and autumn. Shining a spotlight on family relationships, colourful characters, privileged lifestyles and historic homes, this exhibition brings the Wise and Waller families to life. The colourful, free-standing banners can be displayed individually or as part of a set depending on the size of the venue they are visiting. If your organisation is interested in hosting one or more of the banners, please call 01926 738961. | ||
| Working with Communities | | |
The Waller family had particularly strong links to the communities of Leek Wootton and Lillington, so the Outside the Box Project would like to work with these two communities in particular. We have already established good links with members of both the Leek Wootton and Lillington communities and are keen to develop these further, with projects specific to each area and local activities based on the Waller collection. The project will also be working to provide quality learning to school children in Leek Wootton and Lillington, beginning with a Super Learning Day at Leek Wootton All Saints School. As well as work focusing on these two communities, the Outside the Box team will also be out and about in the Warwick area, giving talks and setting up travelling exhibitions. If you would like to contact the team regarding their community work in Lillington, Leek Wootton or the Warwick area please call Alaina on 01926 738962. | ||
