Education
We have assembled loan boxes that contextualise aspects of the Here in the Past project and provide opportunities to explore our city's past from different perspectives.
There are currently three of these and each is available free of charge, see the images below.
If you'd like to make use of one, do please contact us: office@rth.org.uk
1. A focus on homelessness
This explores the history of homelessness, from the workhouse to the beginning of the provision of homeless services and includes educational documents made collaboratively with Brighton Housing Trust.
2. For the visually impaired
Our tactile loan box includes physical objects made from a variety of materials that display different textures and surface finishes. These aim to describe the changes through time of the processes used to make the fixtures and fittings to be found in the domestic interiors of the buildings in our city.
3. For young students
This box includes amongst its bounty, references to early education and images of the schoolhouse, an inventory of burial records that amply demonstrate the many perils of earlier times and, on a lighter note, a contemporary urban discovery trail.
