Education

The CHERBOURG MEMORY is the portal for Educational initiatives of the Ration Shed Museum.

On this page we are creating what will become the doorway for schools, universities and other tertiary institutions, as well as individual students, researchers and educationalists to engage with the history and stories of Cherbourg in more structured and thematic investigation.

We are currently developing a suite of teaching and learning materials – some linked directly to the national curriculum – comprising worksheets, books, interactive online materials and videos. These will be made available in a package with live tours and interaction with our archive, the CHERBOURG MEMORY.

This page is not yet fully operational. When it is you will be able to:

  • Register as a Ration Shed Education Partner
  • Download Timeline related worksheets and videos
  • Create learning agendas for students prior to visiting the Ration Shed
  • Receive news of Ration Shed education events
  • Interact with Cherbourg Elders
  • Contribute to the CHERBOURG MEMORY website
  • Make specialized tour bookings
