EMORIES are odd things, alive in the mind ... but then prone to being forgotten o r lost
in translation as they are passed from one generation to another.
Unless, o f course, they are written down - in diaries,
letters, books - o r recorded on film as photographs or moving images.
Now, with so much digital photography, with Twitter
and Facebook and endless other social media that . track the minutiae o f our lives, we are probably guilty o f thinking we d o n 't need to keep formal records. How
wrong we are. Sue Holden, a former community heritage manager
with Lancashire
County.Council, and now co-ordinator o f the. Bowland Scrapbook project, is collecting memo ries o f the area since 1964 to mark the 50th anniversary
o f its status as an Area o f Outstanding Natural Beautv (AONB). And one o f her challenges is to bridge the gap cre
ated by digital photography, which might well have produced more images on people's cameras, but has resulted in fewer o f them being printed. She also has

A special scrapbook the memories
to overcome the notion th a t living memory is o f less value.
People are always willing to talk about what hap
pened to their grandparents, but when it comes to their own lifetime they d o n 't think it's im p o r ta n t / says
Sue, who now works as a freelance researcher based in Clitheroe, where she has lived fo r more than 30 years. The scrapbook is changing that attitude and Sue has
already received a g o o d response from her outreach work in the community, with people c o ntributing some fascinating documents and images. "We're doing really w e ll," she says. "We 've had
some photos o f the Wray flo o d o f 1967 and th e y are stupendous. T h a tflo o d to o k away half o f a farm, it washed away bridges, and livestock and crops; it's
amazing how the landscape recovered tho u g h , and the community. "We've also seen a DVD o f the same flo o d in Dun-
spp Bridge. The fo o ta g e has been transferred from pine film to video to DVD so it's n o t the best q u a lity b u t it shows unbelievable scenes o f devastation." As well as images, p e ople have contributed some
fascinating documents th a t reflect life in Bowland over the past half century. Among the best are fo u r New ton Women's Institute scrapbooks dating from the
mid-1960s and farm accounts and animal fe e d invoices from 1964.
While parts o f these will be reproduced in the 36-
page Heritage Lottery-funded scrapbook, due fo r publication in Novem ber, Sue said they hoped
to see more items . TumtoX PaqeVI2 and photographs.
