Résumé (en anglais)

At the very heart of any ‘spirit of place’ are the varied and shared meanings and values amongst individuals and groups in relation to a particular location and its heritage. With respect to promoting and safeguarding ‘spirit of place’, little attention has been given to the contributions museums can and are currently making. Traditionally, museums have been involved with collecting aspects of heritage from communities, thereby, creating a separation between heritage, community and place. Although such activities tend to ignore the interconnectedness of these three entities, there are museums that engage, however small the scale, with these relationships and contribute to their promotion and safeguarding. Based on an examination of the projects and activities of three museums within the North East of England, it is argued that a potential role can exist through close cooperation with local communities, the true owners of ‘spirit of place’.
