Celebrate worship in Caerphilly with People’s Collection Wales

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 15:00, Monday September 10th, 2012.

Residents of Caerphilly County Borough are being urged to share their memories of worship through on online history project.

The People’s Collection Wales website is dedicated to sharing the history and experience of Wales.

The Welsh Government-funded project is now on the lookout for pictures and stories about local worship.

Rheinallt Ffoster-Jones of People’s Collection Wales said: “People’s Collection Wales belongs to the people and will grow and become even better as more and more become involved in its development.

“Content about how Welsh people have worshipped throughout the years is hugely valuable. Photographs could show generations of religious communities coming together to mark key dates in the calendar as well as ceremonies surrounding rites of passage, weddings and funerals. Wales is a diverse nation and People’s Collection Wales wants to celebrate the traditions of all groups of people.”

The website now has 44,000 items from old photographs to video stories and can be viewed at www.peoplescollectionwales.co.uk.

Readers can go to the home page, create a login and password, and then upload and share their content.

People’s Collection Wales is a partnership project between Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales (AC-NMW), the National Library of Wales (NLW) and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW), and is funded by the Welsh Government.
