Prior to retiring as a Lecturer in the Department of Information Studies at Aberystwyth University in 2012, I was invited to speak at a conference in India on the setting up of the People’s Collection Wales as an example of an online national cultural heritage collection involving museums, archives and libraries. My grandparents came from Carmarthen and I am in possession of a number of diaries, postcards, letters and so on mainly involving my maternal grandmother, Lucy Hannah Jenkins, née White, which I have decided to make generally available via the People’s Collection Wales.
