Capturing shadows archive

Capturing Shadows is a project started in March 2024 to collect and preserve stories of Mansfield’s Central and Eastern European communities. Capturing Shadows is funded by Historic England’s Everyday Heritage grant programme, celebrating working class histories.

Do you have an album of memorabilia and photos hidden in an old drawer? Maybe a shoe box full of photos of festivals, get-togethers and more? If so we would love to include your relics in our online archive, creating an accessible public resource. You can add your photos using the form below
