Calling all family, social, and industrial historians! Together with Bluegrass Research, the Science Museum Group invite you to take part in-person in a free research workshop all about the Congruence Engine.
The Congruence Engine project uses the latest digital techniques to connect industrial history collections held in different locations. It aims to create a prototype ‘digital toolbox’ for everyone fascinated by industrial past, to connect items from the nation’s collection to tell the stories about history that they want to tell.
The free research event is being held at the Discovery Museum, Blandford Square, Newcastle- upon-Tyne, NE1 4JA, on Tuesday 13th February 6pm – 9pm. Attendees do not need to have any prior knowledge of the Congruence Engine project to participate, but active participation in event discussions will be required. As a thank you for time and participation, and to cover expenses, all registered attendees will receive £25 after the event.
As event numbers are limited, please register your interest by emailing lydia.neave@bluegrassresearch.co.uk with your phone number and a brief description of your area of historical interest. Following this, your place will be confirmed with a registration email on a first come first served basis.
Industrial Heritage Networks 
Sounds like a very useful seminar about a very useful project, is there any hope that it will either be recorded or that a Zoom version will arrive to connect those at the sort of distance from N on T as are the the ‘industrial history collections’.
