17. USING THE
COLLECTIONS –
KEEPING ARCHIVES
ALIVE!
 Once logged in to your account you
can go ahead and create collections
using other people’s items as well,
and this can add to the context of
your collection – and even fill in some
essential gaps. You may have
documents, but not much visual
content for example, or you may have
some oral history that could be
enriched by photographs etc.
 Remember, the original metadata
from your items, or other people’s
items that you use in a collection or a
story (which is another way of
curating content) will never change –
but you can contribute to sharing the
story of Wales and its people.
