How will future generations regard the Covid-19 pandemic and the way it changed our lives? Here in Hampshire, Zoe Viney of Wessex Film & Sound Archive based at Hampshire Record office in Winchester is helping to create a record of local life in lockdown through the project Making History: Making Movies.
In our latest episode she talks to Eleanor Andrews-Steele about her work curating historic film and invites us all to participate in the project by recording our personal experiences of the good, the bad and the boring aspects of life amid a pandemic.
