We have been busy cataloguing and conserving records of the Bracknell Development Corporation (BDC) 1949-1982 as part of the New Jerusalems new towns project funded by the Wellcome Trust.

The exhibition will highlight the work and the people of the BDC involved with planning and building the new town. Visitors will also have the opportunity to see copies of photographs and other documents to look at them in more detail.
