Touch History at The Hive

Come to Explore the Past at The Hive and touch history on our multi-touch table which showcases the resources we have for you to research and enjoy in the building and which highlights heritage sites throughout Worcestershire.

We are working with Birmingham University Digital Heritage Project to explore ways of using the table to help visitors to The Hive. The table allows you to move images around the screen with your hands. It is also possible for small groups to explore the table together.

Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service (WAAS) carry out a wide range of learning and outreach activities, involving over 6,000 people per year. Participants range from 5 year old children through to retired people, both formal and informal learners, academics and those who had previously never heard of archives or archaeology.
