With my new skills of Archive extraction and implementing key skills to recognise the stages in an Archival process, I came across a significant amount of historical images from the early 1900s relating to my project. As a starting point, I have researched past images of the house in order for me to make a comparative link to suggest more relevance within my ideas. This was all done with help from the Societe Jerseiase and Jersey’s Photographic Archive. With help from Gareth Syvret, we researched these past images of the house with the references tagged along with the images.
This was all stored in a box of photographs given by the Bailiff of Jersey, between the era’s of 1930’s: a post war memorial. I then learnt that my house was an important artifact and gem to the German soldiers which were residence in St Ouen’s Bay during the time of the occupation in World War ll. From this, my ideas then began to develop, I found relevance into my project by being able to contextualize and relate to the history of my new house.
