00:39 Recently, we've actually accessioned a huge collection
00:42 of records relating to British Commonwealth and Allied
00:44 prisoners of war, and also civilian internees who
00:47 were captured in Germany.
00:49 And working with our volunteers, we've
00:52 opened up these records and indexed them
00:54 by name of individual.
00:56 And there's over 200,000 of them.
01:00 In a few weeks, hundreds of stories
01:03 were made available to me.
01:04 And they're about people from all walks of life--
01:06 servicemen, merchant men, civilians.
01:10 And with these records, you get photographs as well.
01:13 So they really brought a colorful kind
01:15 of like story, which we thought would really
01:18 capture the heart of people coming to see an exhibition.
