Personal Heritage

Writing on Walls - some days, I know why I go to work: "It's the first in the country we think (first lending library specialising in personal heritage which is in the same building as a local studies reference library and an archive, and the rest, of course).

We had an excellent opening talk from Nick Barratt, who introduced me to the term 'Personal Heritage'. Which is not just a new name for Family History, but includes (as far as I can see, in his useage) social history (where it is of personal significance), local history (ditto), and landscape archaeology (ditto). I'm going to use it for _anything_ to do with the past (ditto)."
