The second half of the year brings with it the return of the Bonus Prompt, a broad topic which you can use instead of, or in addition to, any of the monthly prompts – or ignore, as you see fit! A chance for you to share details of your favourite discoveries about your Place and its people, including your ancestors if they lived in your OPS Place. Social media hashtag: #OnePlaceDiscoveries
Transport | #OnePlaceTransport | June 2023
What modes of transportation were (or are!) available to the people in your Place? How did this change over time, and how did these changes affect the Place and its people? Social media hashtag: #OnePlaceTransport
Homes | #OnePlaceHomes | May 2023
A chance to focus on the houses, apartments, cottages, farms, etc., that people in our Study places lived. This could be an overview of some or many of them, or more in-depth house histories of individual properties, as is appropriate for your Study place. Social media hashtag: #OnePlaceHomes
Mysteries | #OnePlaceMysteries | April 2023
What mysteries are associated with your OPS Place? Or, what mysteries have you encountered in your research and cracked – or maybe those ones you’ve never been able to solve… maybe publishing something about it will encourage someone to help you figure it out! Social media hashtag: #OnePlaceMysteries
Employers | #OnePlaceEmployers | March 2023
Who were the employers in your Place? What types of employment did they provide, and how did this change over time? Censuses, trade directories and even phone books can offer potential areas for research in this topic, along with loads of other sources, so why not dig in! Social media hashtag: #OnePlaceEmployers
Pictures | #OnePlacePictures | February 2023
Any type of picture could be your inspiration this month! Artwork, sketches, photos, postcards – anything that you’ve found about or in your Place, or taken or created of your Place – and of course, the significance of those pictures. Social media hashtag: #OnePlacePictures
Archives | #OnePlaceArchives | January 2023
This can be about your own One-Place Study archives, how you’ve used archives for your One-Place Study, or even something interesting, exciting or different you found in an archive search. Social media hashtag: #OnePlaceArchives
