STICK Projects

STICK exists to promote the care and enjoyment of transport and industry collections.  One of the ways we can achieve this is through project and partnership working to encourage wider engagement with these collections across Scotland.

Old Tools, New Uses

Our Old Tools, New Uses project which is part of the Museums Association's Effective Collections Scheme celebrated its completion on the 26th October at Summerlee.

The project has been very successful since its launch in June last year by the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop, who praised the project for its ‘creativity and collaboration’. From drop-in surgeries across Scotland to disposing of objects to artisans in Africa – the project is unmistakably a success and is now drawing to a close.

Further information about the project can be found by following the OTNU links in the left hand menu bar.  There is information about the launch, master catalogue and educational resources related to the project.
