Their Finest Hour is a University of Oxford project that aims to collect and digitally archive the everyday stories and objects of the Second World War that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Do you have any Second World War-related stories and objects passed down to you from your parents, grandparents and other family members? Would you like to share and preserve these objects and stories for future generations?
Take your diaries, letters, photographs, memoirs, objects or stories about your family’s experience in the war to the National Museum of the Royal Navy to be recorded and added to its freely-available, online archive.
Volunteers will be on hand in the Learning Centre, Victory Gallery (ground floor) from 10am to 4pm to welcome you and help record your story and photograph your objects.
Entry to this event is free but it doesn't include entry to the museums or ships. No booking is required.
