Project ID: 773
| Description | A Museum Object - When we first met at the museum I had no idea of a subject to follow not having been born and raised locally so I took the suggestion of researching a museum object. I settled on a picture promoting tobacco. I found a wealth of information on international companies. I produced a Power Point Presentation. |
| Topics | Social history |
| Type | U3A-led research (SLP) |
| U3A | Roding Valley U3A |
| Notes | In summary my experience of the shared learning project was an opportunity to help with some research for the museum and our monthly updates helped with discussing findings and problems. I then took part in a mapping project which was the start of preparing information to make available a searchable data resource at the museum on the maps and plans it holds. I am very pleased to have contributed to this very detailed work to make a useable local resource and learnt a lot in the process. |
