Trust chair Keith Morgan and board member Jonathan Hicks have met with club and foundation officials over plans for a Bluebirds museum at the Cardiff City Stadium.
A working party will be set up in January with representatives from the club and supporter groups, including the Trust.
The meeting was told that the current collection has been sorted into three areas for storage:
Shirts, pictures, archived programmes, ephemera.
Collections, archives, research
Memorabilia, trophies, auction items, scrapbooks, the Fred Keenor collection, fan art.
The meeting was told that the best model for the Cardiff City museum would be one based on a similar facility at Slavia Prague.
A proposed fit out has been drawn up by Avante Architects but nothing will be finalised before consultation. The opening hours of a proposed museum have not been decided but it is unlikely the museum will be open on match days.
Between now and the end of the year the cataloguing of items and the setting up of an online database will have been collected.
Others attending the meeting were Terry Phillips (Club Historian), Lucy Mebarki (Heritage Collection Manager), Wayne Nash (Head of Operations), Zac Lyndon-Jones (Cardiff City Foundation Interim Manager).
Trust Chair Keith Morgan said: “The Trust has been at the forefront of efforts to develop a museum and we’re very pleased to be involved in the working party that will take this wonderful initiative forward.”
Board member Jonathan Hicks added: “A Bluebirds museum would be a real hit among fans and this is an exciting project in which the Trust intends to play a full part. The museum will be a great asset for the club and the city as a whole.”
In a message to the Trust, Lucy Mebarki said: “Our aim is to collect, preserve and celebrate the club’s history through memorabilia, oral histories, and community engagement. The Supporters’ Trust has done exceptional work over the years in protecting the club’s heritage, championing fans’ voices, and documenting key milestones in our shared history.”
