Family History: Material culture and family history

Tuesday 16 June 2026 at 2:00PM
Cheltenham

Event Concluded

Event Description

We can learn a lot about human behaviour, creativity, and the impact of economic, environmental, and technological forces on people by looking at material culture. What do those family heirlooms, keepsakes, mementoes tell us about the people who owned them and ‘the times’ they lived in? 

 

Participants are invited to bring an object from their family’s past and share what it tells about their own history. 

Bookings required.
