Our work
Revealing Histories
The Lottery, MLA and Renaissance North West funded Museum and Gallery project Revealing Histories broke new ground in collections research, inter-institutional collaborative working and community co-production in Greater Manchester. We've given the project a cutting edge website to match.
Targeted at the public, researchers and school children, this multimedia resource provides multiple ways of engaging with this fascinating piece of history through interactive maps, videos, timelines, text content, artefacts, photographs and more.
We co-produced website with a range of local artists, writers, historians and 9 partner institutions including:
- Bolton Museum and Archive Service
- Gallery Oldham
- Manchester Art Gallery
- The Manchester Museum
- The Museum of Science & Industry
- The People's History Museum
- Touchstones Rochdale
- Whitworth Art Gallery
The site provides wealth of information about the fascinating, often hidden history of the transatlantic slave trade and it's abolition in Britain in 1807 relating this huge history to Greater Manchester and modern day life.
The website was lauched on the 11th of July with a great deal of local publicity including features on North West Tonight, BBC Manchester Website, BBC Radio Manchester Lunchtime and Drivetime, Channel M, The Manchester Evening News, Manchester Digital Development Agency and the Guardian website.
