The neighbourhood as the main subject
Start with a map or street scene and look for what changed in buildings, work and traffic. The local scale makes major urban developments concrete.
Residents as a source
Photographs and memories can complement each other, but are not the same thing. When you hear a story, ask who told it and how the date or place was checked.
Small collection, focused view
Ask which object currently tells a typical, or precisely an unexpected, Kamperpoort story. Which street, resident or event does it belong to?
Before you go
The website refers to “Latest news” for changes. Check that notice before heading to the Hoogstraat.
