Heritage 6 project to launch at Llanelli Festival
A Sony Reader and case plus lots of promotional goods are being given for free at the launch of the Heritage 6 project at the Llanelli Festival next week.
People are being asked to complete questionnaires on the new initiative which involves Freeing the Heritage 6 through collating information about Llanelli’s past in six key areas – people; buildings; events; incidents; industry; and places.
All completed questionnaires will be put into a draw and one winner will receive the Sony Reader and case.
Heritage 6 suggestions to date include Lord Elwyn Jones, Stradey Castle; a 1922 murder; Buckley’s Brewery; Loughor Bridge and Burry Port Harbour.
Suggestions can date back as far as possible or can be as recent as this year – more modern items received are Huw Edwards; St Elli Centre; and the Millennium Coastal Park.
Information on all suggestions made will be gathered and put on a new Heritage 6 website building on collections and materials that already exist within libraries, archives and museums.
The web-site will also feature a heritage discussion forum and social networking – ‘To Bring our Heritage to Life’.
Heritage 6 is being launched at the Llanelli Festival taking place at the Selwyn Samuel Centre on Saturday, August 20.
Promotional items such as pens, bookmarks, flags and car stickers will also be handed out freely at the launch.
Education executive board member Cllr Gwynne Wooldridge said: “This is a really innovative and exciting project which aims to create, collate, conserve and learn about the history and diverse heritage of Carmarthenshire. It will involve people from all walks of life to develop a modern, informative and expansive collection of historical information, and making this information easily accessible for present and future generations to experience and enjoy via the Heritage 6 website.”
