The People's Record

Collecting and preserving the stories of the 2012 Olympics

CommunitySites won the tender to create this prestigious website for the MLA (Museums, Libraries and Archives Council).  

Around the country, People's Record projects are collecting photos, stories and views related to the 2012 Olympics and uploading them to the website. CommunitySites have customised the open-source Omeka cataloguing software to make it easier to use and compatible with the community archive cataloguing guidelines.

A key requirement was accessibility and the site's technology has been accredited by the Shaw Trust, one of the leading providers of Web Accessibility Services in the UK.
