In this interactive online workshop, Wessex Heritage Trust's Digital Officer Katherine Mills will take you through how to photograph heritage objects in your home or workplace which can then be used for reminiscence activities with people living with dementia.

Starting with an introduction to the Memory Box Project Online and an overview of why and how we have been digitising the Memory Box Project collection, Katherine will also take you through the equipment and set up you need to take photographs in your own space.

Following this presentation, there will be a practical element where you will set up your own mini studio and photograph a small object alongside Katherine and the other participants in real time, allowing to you learn through practice and ask questions as you go.

This workshop will be delivered via Zoom video call, so you will need access to a webcam or video-calling device.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and completely free, thanks to project funding support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
