An asset in the north-east districts is the nearness to the countryside. Just a few hundred meters from the houses is arable land and large natural areas. Northeast Göteborg is also the area in Sweden with the highest proportion agronomist educated residents.

To strengthen the positive forces and develop the north-eastern district the public authority must work together with the local involvement and the civil society. But the dialogue and cooperation must be real, not on unequal terms, and it must lead to real development in order not to create distrust and disinterest from the residents.

The New Local History Rainey Tisdale, USA Pop-up projects, psychogeography, ge- otagging. Locavores, urban renaissance, museum 2.0. For city museums, it’s a brave new world. In our post-industrial, technology-rich society, cities are chang- ing rapidly. Our city museums must change with them. In my conference pres- entation I will map these changes—from permanent to flexible, from inside the museum to out on the street, from pas- sive consumption to active participation, and so on—to frame the brave new world of local history for CAMOC members. I will explore the trends that are affecting the way local history will be practiced in the 21st century, outline the specific needs of today’s city museum audience, and highlight some of the most interesting projects being developed by colleagues in other regions/countries. In so doing, I hope to better equip CAMOC members to adapt to this changing landscape: to understand the challenges and opportunities the New Local History presents and to implement projects in their own museums that will more ef- fectively meet the needs of their urban communities.

Further, the regional work of Bohusläns museum will be discussed in the paper; this is one of Sweden’s most well visited and well- known museums. Bohusläns museum is a regional museum working under the administration of Västarvet. From the start, the museum has worked with industrial development and the impact of the industries in the surrounding countryside. The various activities of the museum have illuminated and interpreted these changes. In 1986, a new branch of business was started in Uddevalla, when Volvo, the global car factory, started a plant in Uddevalla. The motor industry replaced the large-scale shipyard that was closed down at the time. The shipyard had been the main industry, giving character to the town during the years while it was running. The car industry influenced the town too, although the number of em- ployees was much less and the structure of the industry is quite different. The car building trade was a novelty on the work market and this occupational group became common in the smaller commu- nities in the surroundings of Uddevalla, since many companies carrying out subcontract work have been established in these areas.

People make local, together, and us- ing local raw materials. In contrast with the past, they gather information through informal ways, often globally provided by internet. Several examples of people and small industries we found will show this. Together with interesting industries which were settled in Rotterdam in the 19th and 20th century we will show the patterns of the making industry in our city. We will use this information in a dynamic exhibition where the visitor can actually make with the help of the makers of Rotterdam. The visitors will learn by hand to the head about the role of the making industry in the city and the impact it had and has on the lives of Rot- terdammers.
