Story time is a sharing of interesting and amusing stories of the Maritimes.

 

 

 

The Parrsboro Shore Historical Society invites you to join us to meet old friends and make new ones.  This is a fund raising item for the museum and we suggest a donation of $2.00 each.  The next Story time will be on Thursday May 1st at Main and Station ( The Old Post Office ) and the evening will begin at 7:30 pm. All are welcome.

Wisdom Wanted

A Town with a history_edit0713

 A town with a history

The project will focus on sage members of the community and has the following elements:

  • Each participant will be interviewed / asked to verbally share stories and recollections & whatever else they want to say.
  • Each participant will be photographed to create a portrait. The other details of the portrait and how revealing it is will depend on the individual.
  • A website will be created. The website will have a page for each participant. Each page will include audio from interviews. Hopefully each page will also include old photos, mementos, texts, bios, poems and other relevant material contributing to a multimedia portrait.
  • The photographic portraits will be printed in large format and installed in various locations about town… ideally each portrait will be installed in a location that has particular resonance for the subject of the portrait, a location that features prominently in their audio or other material. Each portrait will have a QR code allowing viewers to use their smart phones to link to the internet page (the url will also be included for those without smartphones).
