What is an Artefact? In archives and museums, artefacts are defined as objects, or physical things, which have been made or shaped by humans. They are often 3-D rather than something flat like a piece of paper. The word object is often used instead of the word artefact.<\/p>\n
When people picture a historical artefact, it is usually a flint arrow, old broach, coin, or a household item such as a bowl or vase.<\/p>\n
The Disabled People\u2019s Archive doesn\u2019t have any of these, but what it does have are t-shirts, badges, banners, placards, - even a handcuff, a wind sock and a charity collection doll!<\/p>\n
These photographs show just a few examples. Unfortunately, we have not been able to catalogue these yet, so this page is a taster of what will be available to view in the future.<\/p>\n
We will give some brief background information about each object. Please do let us know if you have more detailed information, or any memories connected to them or their use.<\/p>\n
There is also a detailed visual description of the photograph of each artefact, to aid accessibility. Please click on each image.<\/p>\n
