 Our Heritage, Our Stories

Our Heritage, Our Stories: Linking and searching community-generated digital content to develop the people’s national collection is a Discovery Research Project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, as part of the Towards a National Collection programme. This programme aims to ‘take the first steps towards creating a unified virtual ‘national collection’ by dissolving barriers between different collections – opening UK heritage to the world’. It is vital that, in working towards such a national collection, proper account is taken of the community (and non-institutional) spaces in which many collections are created, sustained and used. Our Heritage, Our Stories is seeking to do just that.
