Lovely day at Harwich Electric Cinema as part of their #heritagefund projwct. Got to discover new decorations of this 1911 cinema that I hadn’t noticed before. I do feel sorry for this girl … she faces away from the screen… so has never seen a film in all of the last 111 years.

By way of #introductions I'm an Australian public historian working in the #heritage sector in #Belfast #NorthernIreland / the North of #Ireland. You can find my more active instance @SamuelGuthrie@mastodon.ie

I am particularly interested in #VernacularHistory, #microhistory, and #OralHistory. I am currently overseeing two projects funded by the NL #HeritageFund here in the UK:

Stories on the Estate a community led history of the Twinbrook housing estate in Belfast.

Our Stories - Our Times an oral history of the British Red Cross' work in Northern Ireland from the Troubles to today.

I've got background projects going on #colonial #Sydney, early C20th Belfast #museology, and amateur #football in Belfast. I haven't much connection back to the heritage sector in Aus and am looking to Mastodon to bridge that.
