Discover the ‘Memory Archive’ on People’s Collection Wales

Using digital archive materials for reminiscence

Find out about how we set up the ‘Memory Archive’, a free dementia resource on the People’s Collection Wales website, and how you can use it for reminiscence with people living with dementia. The Memory Archive holds 31 collections divided into relevant themes and decades (within living memory), based on feedback received from healthcare professionals. It includes images, video clips and sound recordings. We have also created a series of free Memory Tree and Memory Timeline posters you can use with your reminiscence activities.
