Place, Image, Object
This unit teaches about using material and visual sources for research. An ancestoral home or garden, inheritated items like a vase or camera. Photographs in particular are in most peoples collections. We also learnt different techniques for dating these photos.
Assessments were to make an Annotated Map and an Object Biography. The map had to be a place of significance to me or my family history. The object biography needed to tell the life story of a particular object, how it was made etc.
Useful links for dating photographs
