Our Heritage, Our Stories

It was interesting to learn about Community Generated Digital Content (in non-institutional spaces) today from Lorna Hughes where she presented Our Heritage, Our Stories (OHOS) project, the importance of community control on data and the plans for the Observatory #UnlockingCollections ohos.ac.uk
