Swale Migration Stories Project
Via 100 objects from local museums, that will be brought to life using artists, filmmakers, and digital media to create various interactive and virtual displays of items relating to the numerous types of migration over the last 250 years relating to items such as passports, shoes, stamps, birth certificates, letters, photos, clothing, house deeds, oyster shells, to name but a few.

Lilian Mason Collection
We also have a fascinating collection by photographer Lilian Mason.
Lilian was apprenticed at age 17 to the well-known Sheppey photographer John Griffiths in the early part of the 20th century. She went on to become very successful in her own right through both her portrait work and postcard scenes of Sheppey. We have a collection of over 300 of her photographs that are evocative of the period between the wars, featuring numerous portraits as well as local drama productions.
Children can follow our History trail and join up for the Wheels of Time badge collecting scheme.
