The Diaper Heritage Association is an informal not for profit community group membership is open to any member of the extended Diaper family or others interested in this aspect of Southampton’s local history. Many members have contributed to the events and exhibition programme by giving their time, loaning objects, fund raising, researching etc. We are always keen to utilise skills and involve as many people as possible in our on going project.
A few members belong to the steering committee which has focused on leading the exhibition and events project. Key contacts are listed below.
