    The BBC Reminiscence Archive provides access to a selection of content from the BBC Archives, designed to support reminiscence therapy. The principle of reminiscence therapy is to assist people who have dementia to interact and converse in a natural way by stimulating their long-term memory with material from the past. A number of reminiscence systems have been developed for people with dementia. RemArc is the BBC’s contribution to this growing set of supports for people with dementia and their carers. The site is organised by Themes (such as Animals, Music, Sport, Events etc.) and Decades. Users can choose whether to have Image, Audio or Video content. The results are randomised each visit, however items can be ‘favourited’ to return to later and there is an ‘information’ icon which displays a brief description of the item being viewed.

    Your Paintings is a website developed by the BBC and the Public Catalogue Foundation (known now as Art UK) to create a complete record of the United Kingdom’s national collection of oil, tempera and acrylic paintings and make this accessible to the public. The site can be searched by artist, by gallery or other institution, and by what’s in a painting, for example the subject of a portrait, places depicted, or objects such as trees and houses. The subject access is somewhat unwieldy to use and often brings up very large numbers of ‘hits’. The quality of the images is generally excellent and displayed alongside details of the gallery where it can be seen. To support the project for schools the site offers a range of online resources including: slideshows of paintings with ideas for use in the classroom; profiles of careers in the art world; and a guide to artistic styles and movements.
