Create your own items Discover Scrapbook The People's Collection Wales scrapbook is where you can store all your favourite items from around the collection. You can then use the scrapbook items or add to content on the site such as collections, stories, themes and learning materials.

Create your own items Discover Story Builder The Story Builder allows you to use video, audio and image items from the scrapbook to create a brand new video. Images, video and audio files can be located on a time-line to build up your stories. Title slides and captions can also be created to add a narrative to the video.

Create your own items Discover Timeline With the map timeline you can search the content by its relevance in history. By moving the sliders on the timeline, you can select a specific date range and the map will then only display items related to that date range. For example, if you are looking for information on the Second World War you can search for items related to Cardiff on the map, then use the timeline to filter the search results to show only items relevant to the date range
