Decade by Decade

The Decade by Decade section offers a rolling timeline overview of the history of Cherbourg told in short sections following the Timeline in the Ration Shed Museum. It is intended as a narrative introduction to 110-year history of our town – with text capturing a sense of each decade together with a small selection of images which graphically tell the story of the period.

The Decade by Decade view has more limited interactivity than the Themes view. Each page has a clickable image which leads to more information on the item and from there it is possible to enter the depths of the archive; however we recommend that Themes and Search be used for a better interactive exploration of the site.
