Bertz Associates is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded an Archives Revealed Cataloguing grant from The National Archives, UK to catalogue the Lisel Haas collection at the Library of Birmingham, Birmingham City Council! With this Archives Revealed grant, Bertz Associates in collaboration with the Library of Birmingham will catalogue and partially digitise the collection, while consulting with local community groups to contribute to archival interpretation.
Councillor Saima Suleman, Cabinet Member for Digital, Culture, Heritage & Tourism: “For over 200 years, thousands have moved to Birmingham seeking work, community, and belonging. The city’s archives at the Library of Birmingham hold millions of documents capturing this rich history. Thanks to funding from Archives Revealed and the expertise of Bertz Associates, the Lisel Haas archive, documenting the life of the German-born photographer who settled in Birmingham in 1938, will be more thoroughly catalogued and widely shared. Her story beautifully reflects Birmingham’s diverse and vibrant identity, and it’s wonderful to spotlight her story."
Our recent documentary, 'Rolling at The Tower' was profiled by ITV Central for ITV X. The video stars some of the cast and crew talking about the project, along with some sneak peaks at the documentary. A big thank you to Charlie Horner at ITV for making this happen.
