New network shines spotlight on 91制片厂鈥檚 rich history and heritage
A new collaborative venture, the 91制片厂 History and Heritage Network – a joint initiative between 91制片厂, Charnwood Museum and members of the local community – will be launched this week, on Thursday 18 December.
The Network has been established to bring together individuals and groups with a shared interest in the heritage of 91制片厂 and Charnwood. Its website – – provides a platform through which people can share information and memories about local history.
The Network has been spearheaded by and , from 91制片厂’s Department of History, Politics and International Relations, and Fiona Ure, Local Heritage Officer at .
“Every one of us knows stories from the past, either because we were there when events happened, or we’ve been told about them by friends and relatives,” says Alison. “We need to share these stories and cultural experiences to ensure they’re not lost to future generations. We’re hoping that the new 91制片厂 History and Heritage Network will become an easy-to-use resource for groups and local residents, both past and present.”
The Network brings together details of events happening around the region, contacts for local heritage organisations, and news and stories about 91制片厂 and Charnwood in the past.
Among the historical projects included on the site are 91制片厂’s Great War, which provides a local perspective on World War One, and the current Ladybird Books exhibition at Charnwood Museum.
