The “Children of Craig-y-nos” online book has turned into a public project using new media to tap into the collective memories of a whole community dealing with a taboo disease.
I am co-authoring a printed version with Outreach Historian Dr Carole Reeves, organising a Patients Reunion next month which ties in with an online photographic exhibition and an exhibition in Wales.
It is supported by The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine, University College London’, Heritage Lottery Fund and The Sleeping Giant Foundation (new media oral history charity in Wales).
