Could you be the next People's Collection Wales Champion? A champion is an individual who shows enthusiasm and support for the People's Collection Wales project. This individual embraces the importance of shared heritage and will encourage others to become involved with People's Collection Wales. A champion will become an ambassador for the cause, and is a trusted individual who will be able to share best practice with others after receiving digitisation training by People's Collection Wales staff.
