Dear all, A learning legacy website based on the resources created for the Global and Local Worlds of Welsh Copper knowledge exchange project is now online: http://www.welshcopper.org.uk It makes many of the resources generated for various of the project's initiatives freely available and is packed full of information about copper's industrialisation in Wales and how it impacted upon world trade. Highlights include exhibition guides with downloadable resources relating to the recent major exhibition at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea, and that now accompany the travelling exhibition. For those interested in the environmental impact of heavy industry there is a feature on the pioneering land reclamation project, the Lower Swansea Valley Project which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. It is aimed primarily as introductory material that can be used in the class or seminar room or just by those interested in learning more about this fascinating aspect of industrial history and heritage. Curriculum areas of interest include history, science, geography and the environment. There are also sections of interest to historians, archaeologists and researchers who want more information on the topic. Many of the resources are still being added to but as this site is now run on a voluntary basis contributions are welcome. Please feel free to email me with any questions and queries or for more information. Please forward on to any other interested parties.
