There are two exciting new websites that have been produced as part of the Worcester Life Stories project: Life Stories Herefordshire & Worcestershire (hosted by the Herefordshire &Worcestershire Health and Care Trust) and this one, Know Your Place Worcester (hosted by Worcester City Council). The former enables you to create your own personalised life story for your own private use or to share if you wish to, as well as to download Life Packs of information for reminiscence. KNow Your Place Worcester provides access to the thousands of historic records, photographs and maps held by the Worcester City Historic Environment Record, as well as contribute your own knowledge and images.
If you’re already making use of these resources, we’d love to hear from you. The University of Worcester Association for Dementia Studies are supporting the project with research into the impact of our websites on health and wellbeing. This research is being funded by Historic England to help understand the impact of heritage for local people. Please follow the links below to complete a short survey on each of the platforms:
