| Notes | This national project was led jointly by Leeds and Royal Holloway universities and explored the way families document their lives and experiences through personal photography. This project explored the way families document their lives and experiences through photography. u3a members were introduced to the interrogation of key photographs and modelled how this process could be repeated in their own u3a groups. u3a members were trained to share insights into the practical digital management and dating of photographs via fashion details.
