Exhibition Launch
January 16th 2009 saw the launch event of the Oral History project “Blindness through the Decades from 1945 - present day”. This project charted the history and experiences of local people with sight loss since 1945. It is a fascinating mine of information about such things as hospital treatments, domestic life, employment and education. The event was held at Preston Hall where the exhibition will start its journey with Museums on the Move.
We would like to thank the interviewers, who had a great time listening to our interviewees. They did a marvellous job and the interviewees made the project come alive with their experiences. The interviews are available on CD and will soon be available through BlindVoice’s website.
