Why am I here?...

... at Futuresonic that is.

I work at Bolton Museum and have the curious job title (as far as museums are concerned anyway) of Digital Media Officer. This means that I look after the museum's digital image archive and also its web site.

I am currently thinking about a project that will somehow mash up Google maps, Flickr and the Museum collections online database to create an interactive and (maybe) social tool for viewing objects and people's stories related to the town they live in.

If you are reading this and have similar or overlapping interests I would be interested in meeting up.


Hi Perry...
I work for the Mersey Basin Campaign across the Northwest, doing new media communications - we're also looking at ways of telling local stories (in a low-budget kind of a way!). I'll be about Contact all day tomorrow, and Frideh morning if you fancy a chat.....
We did some work with NML last year, so have some slight knowledge of museums sector.....
