Notes from the Aughty
People & Earth Day Family History discussion group, recorded
by Gerry Kennedy. |
| |
|
We had a wide range of discussions - we covered a lot of issues.
- The theme that was coming through again was the use of the internet
and the use of the website as a major resource for us.
- And at the same time the involvement of schools and young people.
- And trying to bring the community along with us is a very important
aspect of what we will be doing.
Some tasks that we thought of as being doable in the immediate
future:
- First one was to send a list of all our links from each organisation
or each parish to the website, so that the links from each area
could be put on the website.
- The second one was to identify the resources that were available
in each parish - not just the natural resources - where they were,
who held them and to put all those up on the website for each
parish.
- Resources such as:
- What local school records were available.
- The registers of births, marriages, deaths for each parish.
- The years that they covered and where they were available.
- The third area that we sort of looked at is from the perspectives
of people maybe interviewing and recording old people for their
history and folklore.
- We would put up on the website a series of best practices across
a wide range of issues.
- Such as, if we have to interview people, that we have to get
them to sign the form so that the information can be used later
on.
- That the best practices would be downloadable for anybody carrying
out interviews in their own area.
