Barking & Dagenham - The War Years Rediscovered - Project
Project overview
With the Borough Archivist, students will develop contacts with local veterans & record their oral histories for posterity which will be preserved in the Borough Archives. There will also be work with Borough Museum Service to develop handling boxes for ongoing use in schools to explore WWII in primary & secondary years. These will include edited oral histories. A series of Q&A sessions will be organised, based on the oral history/loan boxes in schools between veterans & children during the VE celebrations.
