Narberth Museum has recently been jointly awarded a Women’s History Prize for their work in 2015 with Greenhill School. This was announced at the Women’s History Network’s recent annual conference where the museum was ‘congratulated for encouraging and supporting school pupils to take over the space and find their own way into Women’s History.’

The Women’s History Network is a national association and charity for the promotion of women’s history with members, including working historians, researchers, independent scholars, teachers and librarians, and many other individuals, both within academia and beyond.

The judges felt that this project was ‘commendably led by young people who were inspired to carry out their own research into the lives of local women and convey it in an innovative and entertaining way. There was some lovely use of new media and the project is a wonderful example of how youngsters can really gain a sense of ownership of museums and their exhibitions .’

Narberth Museum is delighted to have received such an accolade and wishes to thank the pupils once again for all their hard work and the support of their teacher Carolyn Penn.
