abstract: The Children of Craig-y-nos, a public and oral history of life in a Welsh tuberculosis (TB) sanatorium, began in 2006 as a daily blog and has achieved international recognition. Although elements of the project have been passed to the community in which it originated, as was the intention, its creators have remained the point of contact for potential spin-off projects and for troubleshooting dark and challenging issues. These include disturbing revelations of institutional abuse; long-standing misconceptions about the sanatorium and its staff which have resulted in anguished lives for some ex-patients; ethical issues relating to individual and community responsibility; and archiving the project’s valuable but ephemeral resource, the blog. Lessons learned may help others contemplating a project in which digging up the past might unearth long-buried secrets and pose problems for the future.
