Learn how to tell new stories of a dynamic colonial history that included all kinds of people, stories not captured fully in English documents from the time such as this map of the Estuary made for the King of England in 1667.

“Doing both historical research and digging on this project in the Great Bay Estuary, I have learned you can't rely on what is written down alone to tell the whole story of the past. You have to also look at what people left behind when no one was watching. That is where the hidden stories of our shared colonial past lie.”
