The North of England Mining Archive and Research Centre (NEEMARC) is a collection of unique and historical records from The National Union of Mineworkers Durham Area (NUM), The North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers (NEIMME) and the Durham branch of The National Association of Colliery Overmen, Deputies and Shotfirers (NACODS).
In 2007, a Heritage Lottery Fund award of £270,000 was granted to set up an archive centre at the University of Sunderland's Murray Library (now Murray Health). The main aim of the project is to preserve and catalogue the primary archival material within the NEEMARC collections and to make the items accessible to a wide range of users.
