Collecting Material.

Our history site contains two links that we hope will inspire further creations in CardiffSchools.Net.  It also explains the 'Community Archive'.

Our aim is to help every school assemble its own local multimedia historical archive and even make this an annual event.  

We would like pupils to collect, first hand recollections from their friends, parents and grandparents about life in Cardiff. These recollections will be mixed with images and made available via each schools website (if desired).  We are also interested in imaginative contributions such a contemporary TV report of Scotts departure for the Antarctic or some research on an old newspaper story.

Duplicate entries are more likely to be avoided if each school concentrates on its immediate vicinity. 

As an additional incentive the BBC are interested in making six half hour radio programmes on the content that we collect.  They are also willing to train students (in radio technique and asking open questions), collect information and permit access to Broadcasting House, Llandaff.  We are also hoping to feature contributions on our own "Pirate" radio station (see http://pirate.cardiffschools.net) 

Why not come and make your own programmes?
