All of these photos are of the 'Our Oxford:50 years, 50 stories' exhibition that was in gallery 1 of the Museum of Oxford. All of these pictures are coloured and all but the last two shot portrait.

The first photo captures the beginning of the exhibition. On the left side a tv is resting on a stand and is playing a Shadowlight film. In front of the tv are two small green labels. On the front of the stand is a plastic holder, in the holder is a large print guide. Just to the right of the tv is the first display case. Hanging on the side of the display case is a introduction panel. The second, third and fourth display cases are also visible, but are further back in the photo. The objects hanging above these cases are also captured.

The second photo is of the first display case. Hanging above the case is a collage of artworks that were created by Topaz. There is a small green label to the right side of it. Inside the case are several green labels and two printed photographs hung on the wall. There are also brown luggage tags being held up horizontally by some string. At the bottom of the case are three objects from Cheney School.

The third photo captures the second and third display cases and the objects hanging above them. Above the second case is the collage painting created during the workshops with the Chinese Community. Just underneath the painting is a printed photograph and a small green label. On the left side of the second case is an exhibition poster. In the second case are three printed photographs, two green labels and red luggage tags hanging horizontally on a string. At the bottom of the case are the Chinese Community objects that were loaned to us.

Hanging above the third case is the Oxford Peace Banner. Hanging under that is the artwork created by the members who took part in the Sikh History Tour. To the right of that are four printed photographs and four green labels. In the third display case are several labels, printed photographs, the winnowing basket and two recipe books from the Polish Association. The crocodile sculpture is on top of the second and third case.

The fourth photograph captures the third and fourth case. In the fourth case are more green labels, a newspaper clipping, a photograph and a booklet. At the bottom of the case is a small pile of zines and an old map of the museum.

The fifth photo is a close up of the objects that are in the third display case.

The sixth photo is a close up of the objects that are in the fourth display case.

The seventh photo captures the oral history telephone. There is a black rotary phone sitting on a stand. Hanging on the wall behind it is a green label which describes the different oral history recordings. To the right side of this are several printed photographs of people that have been featured in the exhibition. Hanging further to the right of the photos are poems, there is another green label resting slightly above the poems.

The seventh photo is a close up of the poems. To the right of the poems are three more labels and two photos. To the far right of the poems is a blue mannequin. The mannequin is wearing a dress and a white shawl that were created by the IWAW group.
