The National Archives have put out a call for family photos taken in the 1920s to be included in their upcoming exhibition.
News OnTheWight often sees old photos shared on heritage groups on social media, so thought that some readers may like to take part.
‘The 1920s: Beyond the Roar’
You can find more information over on the National Archives Website, but in summary the exhibition opens on Friday 21st January and National Archives are seeking family photos taken in the 1920s for them to include.
‘The 1920s: Beyond the Roar’ is about what life was like 100 years ago for a population dazzled and deafened by the ‘roar’ of a rapidly changing society. People were living through the aftermath of a devastating international conflict, a global pandemic, and entering a significant period of innovation and social and political upheaval.
As the official archive for the UK government, our records represent the state perspective, so we’ve created space in the exhibition for you to share a snapshot of your family history from the 1920s. Do you have any photos of your ancestors at home or out having fun? We are interested in photographs of people who were living anywhere in the world in the 1920s, submitted by people who now call the UK home.
Head over to the National Archives Website to find out more and submit your photos.
Thanks to News OnTheWight reader, Seb, for the heads-up.
