Support Us

Voluntary donations from charitable trusts, companies and individuals enable us to continue our valuable research, education and outreach work. With your help the HWTMA can achieve its aims of preserving and promoting maritime heritage through education, enjoyment and participation.

Donations in 2007/8 enabled us to:

• Increase public participation, provide team building and personal development opportunities
• Spark interest in maritime archaeology for all ages
• Continue our research projects on shipwrecks, intertidal remains and submerged landscapes

The HWTMA is seeking to raise more funds to continue to preserve the fascinating but fragile maritime archaeology legacy of the Solent, and engage communities with their local cultural heritage. Projects that the HWTMA is particularly seeking support for in 2008/9 include:

• Development of our education workshops, teaching resources and community outreach programme
• Continuation of the innovative Young Archaeologists Dive In! Project - giving young people the opportunity to work as a team to learn to dive, and explore local shipwreck sites
• Refurbishment of our exhibitions at the UAC
• Expansion of our archaeology research programme to provide more opportunities for volunteer involvement both above and below the water
• Development of interest and knowledge of coastal change drawing on evidence from over 10,000 years of human activity and environmental data
• Publication and archiving of the results of the HWTMA's ground-breaking research and discoveries
