Hi Kate - a few years ago, I worked on a film project One Nation, Five Million Voices for a new gallery of Scotland: A Changing Nation (20th-21st century) here at the National Museum of Scotland. Participants were drawn from our various community, professional and some business and celebrity contacts, all responding to prompts about Scottish culture, identity, characteristics, words, etc.
The film was then used to create an adult learning resource, specifically for people for whom English (Scots!) was a second language. You should be able to access both the film and the resource on our website here:

hope this helps,
Does Claire Nodder still work at Te Papa Tongarewa?

Subject: Storing and re-using UGC.
Dear all
I work at Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand and am keen to get some feed back about some ideas we are having here.
Across Te Papa we are slowly getting interested in UGC and co-creation for different exhibitions, and I'm keen for all of that material to be deposited within one large database. My, probably naïve, thinking being that this database can then be mined from onsite as well as online and be used to 'pull' out user generated content for the exhibitions, dialogues, school programmes, event etc beyond the purpose that people originally created the material for.
We would (as we do mostly now) make sure upfront that people are aware how their material could potentially be used.
Does any of this make sense?! And even sound vaguely sensible? Is anyone anywhere else collecting UGC material and reusing it?
