During the coming weeks we would like to invite you to take part in our 'Your Moment In History' project. As we go through these unprecedented times, we would like you to document what life is like during isolation. Be it through video, photos, diary entries, drawings or whatever comes to mind. Below are some suggestions you can get involved with. We want to encourage you to think about how to tell your story to future generations. Everything you do submit needs to be in a digital format but we would welcome hard copy submissions once lockdown restrictions have been lifted.
Send your experiences to alice@ironstonemuseum.co.uk
