The Our Day Out project aimed to engage local communities through memory workshops with older people's groups using a photographic archive from New Brighton in the 1960s. The objectives were to open up discourse around the archive, create an online archive of oral histories and memories, produce personalized postcards, and create a documentary. Volunteers were trained in new media skills. The workshops helped add context to the images and bring new knowledge about New Brighton from individual memories. An exhibition was held at the Museum of Liverpool and the archive demonstrated potential for preservation and digitization.
