TENBY residents are being urged to share memories of traditions and toys of Christmas past with a website dedicated to preserving the story of Wales.

Local people are being encouraged to remember the festive fun of yesteryear and share their Christmas memories, captured in photographs or on film, with an online archive called People's Collection Wales.

Old pictures and videos from this happy time of year, including festive traditions, meals, decorations, toys and gifts, can be shared with the site to help capture Welsh Christmas through the ages.

The People's Collection Wales is a contemporary, bilingual website dedicated to sharing the history and experience of Wales and its people with the world. The Collection is a constantly growing resource for the people of Wales to learn about their history, and anybody can submit content in a variety of formats.

Over 45,000 items - from old photographs to video stories - can be found in the Collection. Uploading an item to People's Collection Wales is easy and can be done in three steps. Simply go to the home page, create a login and password, and then upload your item. Your content will then appear on the website.

Rheinallt Ffoster-Jones, of People's Collection Wales, said: "People's Collection Wales belongs to the people and will grow and become even better as more and more become aware of the site and submit their stories and memories.

"With such an emphasis on the family and gift-giving, Christmas Day is a snap-happy time and we hope that people across Wales will be inspired to share pictures of their own toys and traditions with People's Collection Wales. By uploading content like this, we can celebrate our childhood and can ensure that such an important part of history is shared and not forgotten."

If you have historical photographs or film to share, then your content could shape how Wales and its history are understood.
