Partners & Support
LightKeep is not made alone. It is being built with the people and institutions who already keep this village's memory — and it is designed to add to their work, not sit beside it.

The Grange Museum & Archive
The archive at The Grange holds the village's written and photographic memory: photographs, letters, certificates, lives filed and protected. Mike Laslett, Hon Archivist and Curator, has opened the collection to LightKeep — historical context for the portraits being made now, and the model for the archive LightKeep will leave behind.
Rottingdean Heritage has confirmed its support for the project in writing.
