Wollaston residents invited to share memories for local history project
Master’s student and researcher Dominika Nala said: “Everyday objects often carry powerful personal and historical meaning, and this study hopes to better understand their role in how families remember and connect with the past.
“I am asking participants to reflect on a single meaningful item from their family and how it is used, discussed, or passed on. The research also seeks to explore whether different generations view and value these objects in different ways.”
The survey is open to anyone who owns such an item or is familiar with one within their family. It consists of 26 questions and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Residents can take part online via: https://bit.ly/familyobjects
For those who prefer a paper format, copies of the survey are available to pick up and return at Screamin’ Beans café and the Churchview Bakery in Wollaston.
The survey will remain open until 11.45pm on Sunday, May 17.
