Our Policies

Hull History Centre is a partnership between Hull City Council and the University of Hull. The City Council’s obligations to the partnership are administered and delivered on its behalf by Hull Culture & Leisure Ltd a wholly owned Hull City Council company.

The partners aim to provide a seamless service to stakeholders and the following should therefore be read as applying to both partners unless otherwise stated.

These policies were reviewed and updated as part of the History Centre's application for Archives Accreditation and continue to be updated and approved by the History Centre Board.
