We explore new forms of digital history to create educational resources for women's history and archive. This story covers our own beginnings as a team and as a project that took off from a trunk full of old photographs.
Our first exhibition of restored photographs, recreated posters and digital materials is on 23 May 2022 at Miranda House. The plan is to add more exhibits including audio displays and open it to other institutions and settings.
