SAILing Forth

The Museum has been granted a 'Sandford Award for Informal Learning' bursary to provide a series of 'memory boxes' about the 1960s. We've called the project 'The Baby Boomer Boxes' (3Bs for short!) and are busy plotting the major events in the 1960s so that we can visit charity shops and put together a collection of appropriate objects for the boxes.

The aim is to take or send the boxes to nursing homes and memory cafes to be used by people who were born in the late 1940s and 1950s and are now beginning to develop memory loss. The boxes could also be used by social groups as part of a fun evening with quizzes and the sounds of the '60s.
