What is History Reunited?

Many of us have objects, artefacts and photographs that may have been in the family for years; were acquired, through various means, some time ago; or might have been a recent find in a charity shop or auction. But what of the people and stories behind these things? What can we learn from them? And how can we share these ‘missing pieces’ with others. This is what History Reunited is all about.

THERE IS HISTORY IN EVERYTHING

Uncovering the stories and people behind physical artefacts – from ‘lost’ objects to treasured heirlooms.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

Seeking out, researching and sharing found images with families and institutions – to help people connect to their past and broaden our shared knowledge.

BACK WHERE THEY BELONG

Reuniting and sharing objects, artefacts and images with families, museums and heritage organisations.
