Man in diving outfit (COPY 1/497)
This workshop aims to introduce pupils to different types of documents and how they can be used to find out about the past.
Working as 'History Detectives', pupils will get the opportunity to look at a range of documents from our collection, including maps, photographs and paintings. They will be introduced to the two Ws: What is the document? What does it tell us about the past?
At the end of the session, pupils will have the opportunity to study Tudor handwriting, before attempting to copy it using a quill pen.
