Past lives awaiting their Story to be told.

Fallen Heroes, Accomplished Ancestors and Community Leaders are examples of the many people who, during their lives, contributed significantly towards improving the lives of others and shaping our world as we know it today. Their stories deserve to be told.

It is usually the lesser-known historical figures whose stories were buried with them until someone, somewhere stumbles upon some archives or authorises the research into their accomplishments. This could be a blood relative, an individual historian, the Committee of an Association, a local Council or indeed the Government.

For instance, in 2014, the British Government launched an initiative for commemorative paving stones to be sited at places that had resonance with each recipient of the Victoria Cross. Unveiling ceremonies soon followed across the country and each ceremony was often accompanied by a reception. This presented the perfect occasion for the recipient's Life Story to be displayed in the form of an exhibition (see Display Tributes) that attendees could peruse at their leisure.
