About Co-Curate


Overview

Co-Curate is a community Website which brings together online collections, museums, universities, schools and community groups to make and re-make stories and images from North East England and Cumbria. Co-Curate is a trans-disciplinary project that will open up 'official' museum and 'un-officia'l co-created community-based collections and archives through innovative collaborative approaches using social media and open archives/data. Co-Curate delivers a transformative educational environment creating a rich mix of openly licenced and other data from arts and humanities, science, and medical health contexts, placing 'authoritative museums' data from professional curators alongside data from more informal contexts compiled and published in collaboration with communities.

    It was interesting to see Spartylea Vicarage where I was born, and the Church of St Peter in The Forest where I was Baptised in 1936 - as well as the school where my sisters started their education.
    Many thanks for these fascinating photos. We even had a couple of the bus-seats from the bus that got stranded in the snow!
