The History of Photography
My name is Kaydence, and I will take you back in time to discuss the revolutionary invention that captures the moments and memories you never want to forget. Can you picture it? Join me to explore the history of photography and its advancements throughout time.
Behind The Dog’s Head
My name is Spela and I’ll take you through the history of Egypt and its gods. Egyptian gods like Anubis are known by name but any more than that is lost to others. I’m here to show how these gods impacted Egyptian history and what else is hiding deep within the past of Egypt.
Looking Back on Art
My name is Ryan and I’m gonna be talking about the Italian Renaissance and how it impacted the world of art. I find a lot of the different important figures from the that time period and I’m interested to learn more about them and how they impacted the art world. I hope you’ll be just as interested to find out more about those back then as well.
Posted from the Past
Nobody thinks twice about a postcard anymore, but once upon a time they were an important way of sharing stories, and more importantly, telling lies. In Posted from the Past, we’ll look at some of the ways postcards have been used to tell stories, and what they can tell us about the time they came from.

As we enter yet another dark period in our history, we will look back to some of these events, to see what lessons we can still learn, and perhaps even apply towards our current state of turmoil.
