Doris Holmes Blake - Correspondence with Arthur Lake Holmes and Lucy Wentworth Holmes, undated (Folder 4 of 4)
About the Project
Our world is a fast-paced one; we are simultaneously inured to the speed of transformation in modern times and experiencing collective whiplash from an onslaught of constant change. This sense is not unique to our day, just magnified. Imagine living in the early twentieth century: by the 1930s, the world has experienced war on an international scale, a global pandemic, and a widespread financial depression, coupled with an explosion in technological advancement. These larger events are only a backdrop to the daily lives of Doris Holmes Blake and her parents, but you can see their effects in anecdotes, such as when Lucy laments the loss of an hour of sleep as "the new time" (Daylight Saving Time) rolls around. Join your fellow volunpeers on this project, and see echoes of Doris's day in our own.
