Some jottings……not in a blog

The nature of the cultural heritage space is changing…..grassroots meets the institution?

People are documenting and sharing their personal collections and personal lives

We have blended learning – are we moving towards blended archives and memories?

How can this assist with building communities? How should MLAs interact with these evolving personal

collections?…..What does this mean for physical footfall?


For later use? In use now (and the future)?
