History Matters – pass it on is run by the main heritage organisations in England and Wales including the National Trust, English Heritage, the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Council for British Archaeology, Heritage Link, Historic Houses Association and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.

They’re gathering a blog of what England and Wales are doing on the 17th of October (today) to be stored in the British Library. They want details, the more mundane the better, to help historians of the future understand what day-to-day life was like in 2006.

This should be a rich storage of minutae — I’ll be curious to see what people admit to!
