ALL OUR MEMORIES – Engaging local communities with their local history

 

Tuesday, 23 November, 14:00 – 16:00 CET/UTC+1

Registration required: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yNqDCLLnQSW9q-xMrwrP5A

Libraries are widely appreciated as stewards of local history and repositories of community’s collective memory but engaging communities with these collections and their local story has become an equally important role for libraries and other cultural institutions.

 

The IFLA Local History and Genealogy Section is hosting a webinar on 23 November 2021.  In this webinar, you can hear about ‘Brama’s Grodzka – Teatr NN’ work focusing on the history of Lublin, especially on its Jewish district which was completely destroyed during World War II.

Using archival materials, photographs and recorded oral histories and also advanced technical methods, the institution restores the knowledge of the forgotten heritage for the contemporary inhabitants of the city in innovative and engaging ways.

 

Meanwhile, the Europeana 1914-1918 roadshows in Romania managed not only to collect from Romanian public documents, stories, photos and all kind of memorabilia from World War One’s time, but to also successfully engage diverse categories of public.

 

Europeana Migration, another successful crowdsourcing project run by Europeana and its partners focused on gathering personal migration stories and associated objects such as pictures, diaries, videos or letters. These stories are part of Europe’s rich and shared history of migration and are recorded for the future.

 

In this webinar we shall also hear about the Europeana Migration Campaign in Serbia.

Please join the IFLA Public Libraries Section as we celebrate the 2020/21 shortlisted libraries for the IFLA/Systematic Public Library of the Year Award and to hear from previous winners of the award.

It is widely accepted that the library building is a crucially important ingredient in the successful operation of a public library.

 

The IFLA Systematic Public Library of the Year Award celebrates beautiful and unique public library buildings from around the world. The award is presented annually to the world’s best public library – a newly built public library that combines functional architecture with creative IT solutions and includes digital development with local culture. But what makes these exemplar libraries so successful? What can we learn from these libraries and which elements are they most proud of? These questions and others will be answered during The Public Library of the Year Webinar.

 

Representatives from the following short-listed libraries from the 2020-2021 award will be joining the webinar:
