Heritage Project start
Heritage Project
bid services has been awarded funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to research what it was like for Deaf people working in the 1920’s to the 1940’s in Birmingham. The project is focused upon gaining as much information as possible relating to Deaf people living and working in the 1920’s to 1940’s and to explore what it was like to be a deaf person working in those times. The project will also cover some aspects of education and children involved in the project will be interviewing a number of elder members of the Deaf community using video recording equipment. This information will be collated on to a DVD and will also become part of an exhibition that will be held at the DCC later in the year. The project work started in September 2008 and will be ending in September 2009.
