CCHT will be represented at Lancaster University's forthcoming Community Day event on 6th May at a session devoted to 'Exploring Maps and Memory'. Do you love old maps? Are you interested in historical depictions of Lancashire and Cumbria? If so, then please join us. This session features interactive displays about the WWI in Lancaster and about old maps of Lancashire and the Lake District. There'll be talks from experts from the Department of History and Bill Shannon of CCHT, who’ll also demonstrate how digital mapping is changing our understanding of our region’s past.
