A suitcase carried by a father who fled the Holocaust with his young family on a year-long journey to a new continent in pursuit of safety. A watch given to a young boy at his 13th birthday, now in his 70's, throughout his life it was his good luck charm. A grandmother's recipe that brings back all the memories of conversation around the family dinner table.
These are some of the many images that Visual History Collaborative gathers allowing families, organizations, foundations and institutions to honor and recognize their communities. This participatory and inclusive process invites contributors to build history together. The end result is a visual archive of their values and experiences.
