Thanks to Karen Blakeman for telling about the UK history project to blog UK daily life tomorrow. She found out about it from Peter Scott’s blog — and he’s Canadian, not British! Here’s the post:

“The heritage organisations involved in the “History Matters - pass it
on” campaign are asking every UK resident to take part in a mass blog
event, which will record how we lived on one single day: Tuesday, 17th
October 2006. The aim is to create a massive electronic treasure chest
of diaries showing everyday life at the beginning of the 21st century,
to be kept as a social history archive by the British Library. The date
is chosen deliberately as an ordinary Tuesday, with no national
importance. But with your help, it will become truly “One Day in
History”: by logging on to historymatters.org.uk and taking part in this
mass blog everyone will be contributing something valuable to the
historic record a fascinating resource for future generations to
explore. Uploading can be done until 31 October 2006″

So I hope all the UK bloggers at ILI contribute to this, so we can memorialize both the conference and how important and influential all internet librarians are in daily life!
