³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

The first of its kind, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Memoryshare project invites you to help create a day-by-day account of life from 1st January, 1900 until the present day.

What is it?

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Memoryshare will gradually piece together an intriguing people's history of Britain, based on your experiences.

Hillsborough disaster, April 1989

You can post a memory or observation relating to any day from 1900. It doesn't have to be a big thing - it's just whatever has stuck in your mind for one reason or another.

You can...

:: Post memories which relate to any location in the world (it doesn't just have to be South Yorkshire)

:: Post a memory of an important event, whether...
personal (your wedding, the birth of your first child) or public (what you were doing when Diana died, how you felt during the Cuban Missile Crisis)

:: Post a memory of a small event, even if you don't think it seems important (blackberry picking, your first pet, getting your ears pierced)

Sheffield band Pulp. Have you seen them live?

:: Write as much or as little as you like, whether it's 50 words or 500

:: ÌýYou can also comment on other people's memories
