Oriel 1 at St Fagans has used this strategy - Mared McAleavy has published
an account following a paper delivered to Folk Lie Society conference in the
most recent volume of FolkLife ( now available online as well as by
subscription) via publisher Maneys.

Ps - Mared is on maternity leave, so not available for comment, though
Sioned Williams and Sioned Hughes are both available I believe.

Hi all
At Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, we are soon going to be developing a
gallery called 'Your Birmingham' which will create displays about
Birmingham people today and their views/ experiences of the city. We will
be developing content for this gallery through community collecting and
oral history projects. We are particularly interested in using first person
interpretations in this gallery rather than a curatorial voice.
We are really interested to find out about any museums who have developed
displays in a similar way in their permanent galleries or temporary
exhibitions as we are keen to arrange some study trips. A couple of
examples that have already been suggested to us are Museum of London and
Croydon. Can you add any more....?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes
Liz
