+For Lunar New Year 2021 promotion of Ryde’s Chinese market gardens from research Angela has gathered over the years from National Archives. Angela's previous presentation on her research can be found here  https://wiki.libraries.nsw.gov.au/doku.php?id=minutes_19_november_2020_online_local_studies
 Angela chose 6 short biographies and photos of Chinese market gardeners to promote on social media highlighting the research that can be found in archives. Angela aimed to provide more engagement through interactions with the public on social media. Thinking about and composing the content for the posts required some work. For future posts,  more hash tags and linking back to the collection would be improvements.

 **10.55 - 11.35am Grace Karskens**, Emeritus Professor of History School of Humanities and Languages UNSW.  Using local records for research
-Grace provided an interesting insight into how she uses local studies collections in her research. Consider using different areas to look at for history research such as houses, roads and maps and essential local records. People and landscapes provide further information and details in her research. Previously a lack of Indigenous history was provided in schooling, however historians now look at the broader history and include Indigenous and convict history. Local collections can provide inspiration and influence research offering more detailed information through sources such as reminiscences. Other sources of information including local history societies, museum collections, library collections and photos can all add to the scope of research.

Connecting documents and stories can become stories in their own right.
+**Kimberley O’Sullivan, Cessnock City Library** –  Spoke about winning a Heritage and Culture award for Keep Australia Beautiful/Sustainable Communities – community projects that showcase local history. Kimberley suggested that libraries should be looking at entering such awards as promotion of the projects we undertake with local studies and the community we engage.
 **12 -12.40pm Dr. Erik Champion**, Emeritus Professor at Curtin, Hon Research Prof at ANU and Hon Research Fellow at UWA.  Virtual heritage: tools, projects, hopes and challenges.
+Erik presented a view of virtual heritage, combining virtual reality with cultural heritage as a way of explaining and engaging in cultural heritage. Interactive history can be used to view different perspectives and express concepts such as intangible heritage. Some of the challenges facing virtual heritage include copyright, software standards that are unable to be shared and cost of equipment. Gaming set ups can be programmed to interact with history and provide an opportunity to engage in meaningful ways with the public.
