Unrolled Comes to an end
Our Unrolled Exhibition featuring The Hunter Region’s Forgotten Maps has now come to an end.
You can relive it here: https://hunterlivinghistories.com/2024/10/30/unrolled-forgotten-maps/
Where in the World Are You From?
One of the highlights was this circa 1940s map of the World where we invited our students, staff and visitors to pin a coloured spot to mark where in the world they came from. It’s fascinating to see the diversity of places that are right here right now with us. (And yes, we are aware some of our students are comedians!)
Some of the countries no longer exist, some of the lines have changed, and some are in the process of changing before our very eyes right now. So, we’re all living histories!
Best wishes,
