Where Past Meets Future
‘One Day in History’ is a one off opportunity for you to join in a mass blog for the national record. We want as many people as possible to record a ‘blog’ diary which will be stored by the British Library as a historical record of our national life.
Head over to the History Matters - Pass It On campaign website to contribute to a one day “blog” which will be lodged in the British Library.

This year, PodcastConUK will be held on Saturday 18 November 2006 at CCT Smithfield, London. If you’re in to podcasting - either as a listener or a producer, I urge you to go. I went last year, and it was fantastic - from meeting fellow podcasters, to hearing the varied talks, brainstorming, and discovering new podcasts. I went away with a brain buzzing with ideas, many of which have since come to fruition. Needless to say, I’ll be there this year too.
This year looks as if the format has changed from a series of talks, to a series of panels, allowing for a more interaction between participants. Each panel is to be lead by an established podcaster, and there will be a chance for workshops, equipment demonstrations, as well as live “podsafe” music.
Unlike many technology conferences, PodcastConUK is organised by a small team of volunteers, who are in it for the love of it rather than money. An event like this, for the podcasting community, by the podcasting community, is set to be the best yet.

A MASS BLOG for the national record. The History Matters campaign has designated October 17 a day for the public to make historic. We have chosen ‘an ordinary’ weekday of no particular significance to ask you to write a one day on-line diary.
They want people to record a “blog diary” which they can upload to the History Matters website.
We want as many people as possible - tens of thousands of UK residents - to record a ‘blog’ diary of this one day to be by the British Library and others as a record of our national life.
As ever, I’m positive about a day where people will record how history has influenced them on an ‘ordinary day’, and have that text lodged with the British Library in perpetuity. But I am uncomfortable about the use of the word “blog” to describe what they’re doing.
