Hi Eleanor

I heard of one National Trust property (Montacute House in Somerset?) using an old fashioned telephone to make recordings. I don't know much more except I think the idea was that the phone rings and there is a message, after which the visitor records their feedback/reminiscence. I thought that was a very neat way of incorporating  feedback gathering in a display. Perhaps someone else on the list knows more about this.

Alternatively for many useful ideas on the use of social networking and other technological approaches to gathering any kind of feedback including memories Nina K. Simon's blog Museum 2.0 is very good: http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/

Subject: Reminiscence collection

Dear Gemmers,
I've been asked to investigate ways of gathering and making available reminiscences from visitors in a public space. Can anyone suggest venues that have a terminal or other stand-alone system whereby visitors can leave comments, memories etc; and share them with other visitors ?
All suggestions gratefully received !
Many thanks,
Eleanor
