Description

This series consists of records documenting the development of the first of Tate’s regional galleries, including negotiations with central and local government and other agencies, together with plans, drawings and the different sites/proposals considered.

This is anticipated to be a popular series as the subject of urban regeneration through the re-use of buildings as art galleries/museums is of interest to researchers

Records held at the Tate Gallery are catalogued more fully in its online catalogue (reference TG 8). Online descriptions of some individual records can also be viewed on Discovery, The National Archives' online catalogue, see TG 8.
