Tales From the Thames is a schools based oral history project aimed at recording the incredible history of the Thames Lightermen. Children will be working with digital-works to explore this history and present their findings in writing but also in filmed oral history interviews which will be edited into a documentary to be shown in schools, museums, film festivals and libraries across London and the UK.

Film Launch
On Tuesday July 14th the documentary made by the children with digital:works was launched at the Museum of London Docklands. The children presented the film to an audience including lightermen, historians, curators and people from local history organisations. It was a really lovely event, presented by the children, who spoke about the project, showed the film, read a poem inspired by the project and took part in a Q&A. We even managed to fit a sing song in.
Thanks so much to everyone who came along.
