Hi,

On Tuesday 20 September the Museum of London will be launching a new website entitled the Postcodes Project. A limited number of  places at the launch reception have been reserved for colleagues from other institutions. If you would like to join us, please contact me at the address below.

The Postcodes Project website is a new resource aimed adults with an interest in local history. It showcases a wide variety of objects from the Museum’s collections, highlighting one for each London postcode area. In addition there are numerous links to local museums, libraries, archives and adult education centres to encourage people to get more involved in local heritage. The really exciting aspect of the site is a system that enables individuals and members of community groups to submit their own stories about an area. These will gradually build up to create a website which is as rich and diverse as the city it portrays.

After the launch you will also be welcome to visit the site online, and submit a story of your own, at www.museumoflondon.org.uk/postcodes.

To request a place on the guest list please Jane Sarre, Access & Learning, Museum of London, London Wall, EC2Y 5BH, or email [log in to unmask], by Tuesday 13 September.

With best wishes,

Jane Sarre

Project Manager, Learning online
