Getting started

Hazel

The community centre has invited our group to prepare a time capsule, to preserve something about life today. We cannot include everyone’s experience, so our introduction must explain how we selected the contributions and whose voices may still be missing.

Amir

0:14

I suggest a bus ticket and a short note about a familiar journey. An ordinary object can reveal everyday life, but only if its caption explains what it meant to the person who chose it.

Poppy

0:14

I can invite written memories from visitors. People may choose a fictional example instead of a personal story. Sharing a memory should be an invitation, not a test of how much someone belongs here.

Miles

0:16

I will check the dates attached to objects. A memory tells us what someone recalls; it is not automatically proof of the exact date. We should keep the person’s words distinct from our factual notes.
