Sidmouth Museum: Ready For The New 'Normal'

A FREE Zoom Talk by Ann tanner 2.30pm

In this talk, Sidmouth Museum’s Curator Ann Tanner describes the work the volunteer force have been undertaking all year to prepare for the museum re-opening, as we adapt to our new 'Normal' - living with the Covid-19 virus.

Ann explains: "Although disappointed at not being able to open the museum in 2020, it did enable the museum team to make changes to the exhibits that hitherto one could only dream about owing to lack of funding. In May 2020 grants were announced offering to fund 're-imagining the new normal', using digitisation to enable greater access to collections. This talk is about the project, its funding and after many hours of hard work, turning the dream into reality. I will also talk about the next digitisation project planned for 2022 when we hope to digitise and publish Tindall's 10 volumes of his daily observations and photographs of Sidmouth foreshore and people from 1922-1931."
