Worcestershire YAC – Childhood Tales
Worcestershire YACÂ set out to explore the theme of childhood in the historical and archaeological record. The group began by undertaking site visits and group research to identify areas that interested them.
YAC members then developed their own research strands, some exploring topics such as toys and games, others pursued an oral history approach interviewing their family and neighbours about their experiences in WW2 for example.

Worcestershire YAC brought all their research together and presented them as a series of online blogs that they shared via their own social media channels.
