From the seeds we plant and the way we process the resulting crops locally, to national and global issues of food sustainability, nutrition and security, the role of milling is essential. As the Mills Archive Trust, it is our role to protect and share the vital historical and enduring contributions of mills, milling and millers to these issues, and to show how learning about the past offers understanding and hope for the future.
This section will expand over time as we write more about this important theme and explore how the Trust’s archive and library resources offer up insight.
