As part of the We Are What We Do Suffolk campaign, Historypin is working with the Museum of East Anglian Life to uncover the history of Suffolk through the photos, video, recordings and stories of the people who live here. By running a series of exhibitions, projects and events we hope to inspire local people to share in their common heritage, explore how their streets, cultures and lives have changed, learn from each other and develop lasting positive relationships. By joining in you will become a Local Hero and by sharing your history you will be helping to create a comprehensive personal history of Suffolk and its communities for everyone to see on Historypin. This pilot project will become a model for further Historypin projects in the UK and across the world, so get involved and help us put Suffolk on the map.
Join IPin your history If you have any photos or stories that you’d like to share, you can start pinning now. Take a look at the images and stories that have already been uploaded onto the Historypin and start exploring the Suffolk’s history.

Local Campaigns
Promote Volunteering
Become a Volunteering Ambassador, promote local opportunities for people to help each other.
Borrow a library book
Borrow a library book and keep your library open.
Reduce your carbon footprint
Begin by calculating your carbon footprint and then work out ways of reducing it with your family, friends, classmates, or groups. That way you can help make Suffolk (and the world) a cleaner and greener place.
Grow something
Grow something: fruit, flowers, vegetables (your hair doesn't count...). It doesn't matter if it's odd shaped and wonky - nothing tastes better than a wonky, homegrown veg.
Bake something for a friend
If you bake something for a friend, they get an an awesome original gift, and you get to lick the bowl. Double good.
Give Blood
One small gift from you makes a world of difference.
Support your local cinema
It's nicer than the multi-screen, the films are more interesting and you can make sure it stays open and shows films that interest you!
