Every Object Tells a Story...
This is an interactive project run by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. This offers a place where collectors, curators and enthusiasts can share their stories about the hobbies that they enjoy and the objects that they treasure. The V&A are looking for society members (and anyone who would like to join in) to share their stories and have asked us to spread the word to our members and colleagues and encourage them to participate. The stories are limited to 250 words and can be written, or recorded as audio-video. (As an example our webmaster has posted a story under the title "Legion of Honour" ...)
