Dear all,
There's an interesting piece in today's Guardian about how local
communities have been using a piece of software called 'Comma' to
publish their own multimedia local history archives on the web.
The tone of the piece suggests that these people feel that without such
local efforts 'their history' would disappear for ever - not the best
of PR for the 'official' archive profession. Does anyone have any
experience of Comma or links between their repositories and the local
Comma users in their area? If not, should you have??
The story can be found on the Guardian website at:
http://society.guardian.co.uk/internet/story/0,8150,838615,00.html
or from their home page under 'Society' if the link doesnt work.
Regards
Steve
