Our Story is a project led by four postgraduate students from City. It aims to create an online archive of stories shared between two family members to help bring about a stronger sense of local community and reclaim the art of storytelling. They are launching the project with the IslingtonFamily History Day on February 26 2011 which will take place from 10.00am - 5.00pm at Islington Museum on St. John Street.
