The New and Improved Club Archives?

Just received an email about the (good) hospitality offer for the Raith Rovers game on March 15th.

Here's a snippet from the advert:

Matchday hospitality places for our upcoming cinch Championship fixture against Raith Rovers are now on sale!

Taking place on Tuesday, 12th March, this will be a very special edition of our matchday hospitality as supporters get an exclusive first look at the new and improved club archives and the vast amount of Jags memorabilia contained within.

 

Can anybody clarify the bit about the new archives and vast amount of memorabilia? Is this some kind of permanent display? If so, where is it? What's included?

Graham Nisbet and Billy (I forget his surname) who are part of the Club's historian team and heritage project have been leading an archive scrawl at the Club for the last few months. TJF recruited some volunteers to help them with it (I think back in August?). Essentially, lots of old memorabilia was found in various nooks and crannies at Firhill over the summer (often stuff that had been long since forgotten about in old cupboards).

The intention was to preserve and catalogue what they could find (especially programmes and other literature and trinkets) and to explore different options for things that could be put on display at the Club in some more organised way, what was surplus to requirements (and could be given a new home eg through fundraising) and what was simply surplus to requirements.

The main focus has been on matchday programmes, with only a small number believed now to be missing for several decades.
