Launch of Herts Memories website
Wednesday 13 January, 2010

Remember when? Community archives websites for Hertfordshire
How often do you look around you and remember the way things used to be? Our towns and villages are constantly changing, but these changes are often not recorded, neither are the personal memories that go with them.
Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies has recently been awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to develop a suite of community archives websites.
The first of these, Herts Memories, is already live. The website is a place where the living memories of anybody who has lived or worked in Hertfordshire can be preserved. Everyone can add their stories and pictures to the site and add comments about articles already on the site.
Free training is available for anybody who would like to be involved in editing and developing the websites and new volunteers are always welcome.
