Dear All
It is good to see MLA
London going out and actively seeking historical moments and getting timely
random comments.
I am wondering when they
will be posting comments on the excitement [or otherwise] of Assembly members,
London quangoes, their respective staff and London residents on the "retirement
of Ken and the onset of Boris" which I am sure that many people would
find as historically interesting [in my own case more so] than Peoples
"excitement" at the Olympics and cheaper too!
Or am I also unduly cynical?

Dear All,
Perhaps I'm just feeling unduly cynical today but this reminded me of the
group of people in the Hitch-hikers' Guide to the Galaxy who
land on planet Earth and immediately start making documentaries about themselves.

MLA London and MLA Council - People's
Record Phase 1 - "vox pop" Capturing the nation's memories and
aspirations
This year, for Phase 1 of People’s Record, we want to work with museums,
libraries and archives to undertake a mass “vox pop” to record the nation’s
memories, thoughts and aspirations during the celebrations that will mark
the Handover of the Games from Beijing and the Launch of the Cultural Olympiad.
We are working with the Mass Observation Archive to shape the questions
we will ask communities and BBC Memoryshare to collect, share and store
the memories and responses.
Funding of up to £1,000 per applicant is available for museums, libraries
and archives that want to gather public responses at both the sites of
celebration, and in their own premises. We hope to gather a range
of responses, from people enthused by the vision of 2012 and those not
yet engaged. We intend to work with museums, libraries and archives across
London.
This is a great opportunity for museums, libraries and archives who want
to get involved and raise the profile of their organisation during the
celebrations. The closing date is noon on 20 May 2008.
