ABOUT THE NORTHERN PAGAN ARCHIVE

Welcome to the NPA. You've probably heard the name before but do you know anything about us. Well you will do after reading this, for it outlines the aims and objectives of the group and introduces you to the sections that it comprises. The NPA was founded in the early months of 2002 to fulfil the following objectives.

• The creation of a library and archive of books, articles, photo/video material and cuttings relating to matters of Paganism in all its forms from around the world. These collections to be uncensored, meaning that the subject matter held will cover the whole spectrum of publications from the sensationalist to the deeply learned. Thus providing an ever expanding body of research material on all aspects and levels for the seeker of information.
• The formation of a museum and exhibition of world wide Paganism and Witchcraft. This to be formed in such a way as to show the truth in an unbiased, lively and educational way about a subject that has throughout history been shrouded by a cloak of mystery, misconceptions & lies.
• The opening of a retail section supplying goods relating to, or required by Pagans. It is intended that it should also provide an outlet for products manufactured by Pagans by displaying and stocking their wares on their behalf. thus helping them to reach a wider market.
• The ultimate goal is that all of the above should be housed in a dedicated building by the end of the summer of 2005, and that this building should also provide space for meetings, lectures and classes held by any Pagan group or body wishing to do so. This building to be located in West Yorkshire which is in easier reach of most of the population than the usual southern locations.

The NPA is entirely run by a team of dedicated volunteers. Any funds raised through the course of any of its activities are used in their entirety to maintain the operation and development of the various sections within the NPA as a whole. The NPA is totally independent and is not linked in any way to any other Pagan organisation or business venture.
