>> John,
>>
>>
>>
>> One of my favourite topics at the moment.
>>
>>
>>
>> There are many lists available of historic events available via the internet but it’s not so much the events here that are important (these will vary from organisation to organisation, country to country, collection to collection) as the significance that we attach to them and how we explore that with our audiences, that is of greater importance.
>>
>>
>>
>> While centenary events are becoming more widespread and they provide a useful hook, they’re also a great opportunity for museums to engage audiences with historic events in new ways and offer a reflective perspective at a critical time when living memory fades and the events become part of the historic fabric of society (and therefore what they say about our collective identity). For the last year Historic Royal Palaces has been working collaboratively with a range of partners on an AHRC network called Significance of the Centenary which has been exploring that topic specifically and those readers who are interested in learning more about the project can follow the links below.
>>
>>
>>
>> I’d also encourage everyone to attend the network’s ‘Happy Anniversary? Measuring the impact, legacy and success of anniversary events’ session at Hampton Court Palace in May which will include a wide range of stimuli to help everyone across both museum and academic sectors to make the most of the centenary events that are relevant to their particular institutions.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> http://thecentenary.wordpress.com/
>>
>>
>>
>> This is an AHRC-funded project which is part of the ‘Care for the Future’ theme. It examines what makes a centenary commemoration different to any other. From the recent commemoration of suffrage, revolution and the sinking of the Titanic, to the events of the First World War, this project places contemporary centenary events in the context of historical celebrations and commemorations in order to interrogate exactly who is now remembering for whom, and how.
>>
>> This interdisciplinary, cross-sector project brings together academics and practitioners to contextualise, compare and convey the significance of the centenary. It will involve a series of workshops beginning in April 2013. The project is led by the University of Birmingham in collaboration with the Universities of Cardiff and Sheffield, Historic Royal Palaces (Tower of London) and the National Library of Wales.

>> Hi all –
>>
>>
>>
>> I’ve recently come into contact with the Waterloo 200 programme, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the eponymous battle;
>>
>>
>>
>> It got me wondering – what other BIG anniversaries (ie centenaries, or at least multiples of 50 or 10…!) of really significant events within the British or global calendar are happening within the next 4 years?
>>
>>
>>
>> Is there a website or other resource that flags such things up for teachers & heritage educators?
>>
>>
>>
>> I’m curious about how such events will create space for themselves in the face of the heavy focus on First World War Centenary Commemoration that we’ll all see between this year and 2018.
>>
>>
>>
>> Many thanks for any and all thoughts,
