| CCAN
aims to capture and preserve community documents, photographs, cuttings, maps,
and also personal reminiscences in audio and video, and present them in a consistent
and searchable digital format on the internet. Stilton joined the CCAN network
in April 2008. Stilton's
CCAN Home Page can be found here. Our
first activities will be to scan and document the contents of the village books.
If you would like to be involved with this project, or if you have any historic
material for inclusion, or would like to make any sort of contribution to Stilton's
archive, please let us know: e-mail contact1@stilton.org. Stilton's
CCAN Group organised a display of old group photos at the 2008
Stilton Flower Festival in the Church, inviting people to annotate copies
of photographs with missing names. A great number of additional names and details
were volunteered.
The CCAN
project was featured on BBC Look East in November 2008 - read
it here. The
project is supported by Stilton Community Association and Stilton Parish Council,
Cambridgeshire County Council's Libraries, Archives and Information Service, and
the Heritage Lottery Fund. |
