Education
A school.
Connect pupils, teachers and families through admission registers and other sources. Explore where they lived and how the school fitted into its community.
Study a shared history
Every place has people at its heart.
A school, a churchyard, a factory: begin with a shared history and discover the lives connected with it.
What makes a local history project?
A focused question.
A wider human story.
Local history projects can explore a building, an institution, a workplace or a particular part of community life. They need not cover the whole history of a town or village.
Name & Place helps you connect the people in your evidence with the places, events and relationships that give it meaning. Bring different kinds of records together and build an understanding that reaches beyond a single document.
