A Poetry Anthology
by Jenny Martin

An anthology of poetry about Whitehaven and beyond, published to mark the Centenary of Cumbria’s worst pit disaster on 11th May 1910.




The Storyteller was started in 2010 by Lynn Gumb, an experienced writer and teacher in Western Australia.. 
Participants are guided through the process of creating beautiful Family History keepsakes
that will last forever.

Workshops are designed to help you improve your creative writing skills, develop your proficiency in storytelling and speechwriting, research your family history, preserve the photographs, letters, documents and keepsakes of your ancestors, record your own stories for future generations and gain an understanding of the law of defamation as it relates to memoir.

This site has been developped to accommodate  the searchable database 'l'imaginaire minier en europe' which is an index of all the representations of mines and mining in european art, literature, film, photographs etc...that one person could collect over the years.
The database is only available in French at the moment but an
English language version is in preparation.
Hopefully, the site will provide enough information to enable a non-French speaker to  find his way among its 2000 references.
Un apport méconnu

'mines in european culture' has  the following fourfold purpose :-

  • to afford and introduction to the database (the database)
  • to highlight points of interest  (random notes)
  • to eventually host short contributions volunteered  by users
  • to generally facilitate exchanges on the subject

Ce site accompagne la base de données 'imaginaireminier.eu',  qui tente d'inventorier   les représentations de la mine dans la Littérature,  les Arts , le Cinéma et la Photographie, la Musique,et le Folklore en Europe, des temps les plus reculés jusqu'à nos jours. 
Au dessous de la zone 'recherche' un court texte expose les limites de ce travail et l'esprit dans lequel il a été entrepris.

  • Sa  fonction est de faciliter les  recherches , (page ' la base de données')
  • de les prolonger en mettant en relief  certaines données, (en marge de la base)
  • de publier des contributions relatives à son thème central, (selon les suggestions à venir)
  • de favoriser les échanges avec les utilisateurs .
