The 1807 Commemorated project recorded over 180 exhibitions, displays and installations in museums, libraries, galleries and archives which were set in place to mark the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade.

Drawing on this large resource the project has created the following toolkit which considers the ways in which visitors were informed, encouraged to reflect and asked to interact with exhibitions and displays in 2007.

This toolkit provides a means of shaping future displays and considering how to coordinate visitor experiences with a traumatic past.
