Archive film – when video cameras were new technology and ‘all the rage’ we knew we had to get to grips and learn how to use them! Joan, Joe and Corinne learned how to use the cameras and practiced before travelling to Edinburgh to meet Prince Charles and accepting an award on behalf of all Pecket Wellians. This film captures the friendship, skills sharing and determination of Pecket Wellians to keep up to date with new and emerging technologies and record the ‘Pecket Way’ for this archive.

This video was part of Pecket Learning Communitiy's digital archive, which is no longer available due to funding. The FWWCP Collection is working with members from Pecket to hopefully reestablish Pecket's wesbite, but until that time, we have been able to share some resources here. To learn more about Pecket Well College and Pecket Learning Community, read Telling It, written by Cilla Ross and shortened by Pauline Nugent, which tells the story of Pecket with an oral history from its members. The description for this video was originally written on the Pecket archive website. Pecket Well College was a member of the Federation of Worker Writers and Community Publishers. Please note: Any video use should credit Pecket Learning Community (pecket.org)
Not all documents in the archive have been digitized. If the download is not available, please inquire about accessing the item, which is housed at the Trades Union Congress Library's Special Collections in London, England.
