Description of Work | This website contains records of short vignette interviews which have formed a ‘digital patchwork’ of stories from community members, prompted by artefacts that have a personal connection with either their own military service or that of a family member. Numerous treasured artefacts are still held by families, sometimes for more than a century. The artefacts have little, if any intrinsic value, but they are the touchstones that bring memories and stories to life. They make history real. The digital vignettes explore the military service through artefacts held by their families, ultimately bringing together a range of diverse, and often unknown stories and experiences, that highlight the service and sacrifice of local community members, as remembered and told by their families. This approach has enabled the sharing and documenting of these stories of service and sacrifice and potentially realise unknown connections which may be lost when family members pass away or move away from their local communities. |
