“One Day in History is a one off opportunity for you to join in a mass blog for the national record. We want as many people as possible to record a ‘blog’ diary which will be stored by the British Library as a historical record of our national life. You can enter your diary of the 17 October until 31 October.” The Times Online reported that as of October 22, 2006 there were more than 35,000 blog diary received, with a goal of 50,000. According to Ivo Dawnay, Communications Director, The National Trust, this project is envisioned “as a vast digital collage of a dynamic society in an age of great uncertainty and change: an invaluable resource for historians one hundred, even three hundred years hence.”
