The Black Miners Museum, founded and led by Nottingham News Centre CIC, and directed by leading historian, Norma Gregory, creates and shares diverse industrial heritage content, resources, services and products for educational advancement for all.

Since 2013, we have helped to widen, develop and enrich the diverse heritage landscape by working collaboratively, creatively and with commitment among leading heritage organisations in the UK and worldwide.

Our aims are to grow lasting partnerships with existing cultural heritage museums and heritage organisations, by providing diverse heritage consultancy, support for innovative and inclusive diverse heritage content interpretation, enriching and enhancing existing and new exhibitions and displays as well as driving policy change that promote and welcome access to heritage and equality diversity inclusion (EDI) for all. 

Our pioneering work, unearthing and bringing to light the under-represented  oral histories, narratives, memories and creative representations of former coal miners of Black/ African-Caribbean heritage and other diverse groups within UK mining history as part of the global story of workforce labour and industry, have inspired and ignited sparks of hope for others by sharing stories of camaraderie, teamwork, collaboration and communication, for the greater good.
