My Leicestershire
Find out more about My Leicestershire on the project blog
This project will create a base digital archive comprised of historical texts from the University of Leicester Library’s Special Collections complemented by video recordings from Media Archive for Central England (MACE), oral history recordings from East Midlands Oral History Archive (EMOHA) and private collections of historical photographs of “ghost signs”, buildings, bridges, and other architecturally significant sites from across the county.
Community groups like the
Leicester Industrial Heritage Society and Rothley Heritage Trust will be encouraged to select significant resources from the above mentioned collections. These will then be digitised and uploaded where possible. They will also be invited to upload their own resources to My Leicestershire.
