The project has also included new interviews<http://collections.craftscouncil.org.uk/group/PRO2262> with significant makers from the era including Fred Baier, Alison Britton, Caroline Broadhead, Sebastian Carter, Susanna Heron, Carol McNicoll and Janice Tchalenko.

> I hadn’t come across any “longform” stories from museums directly, so it's nice to see some of the examples from others. “Museumy” might include the very popular Retronaut. Here’s a not particularly long example, text-wise, but it’s visually rich ("Inside the R-100 airship - Luxury among the clouds, years before the Hindenburg”) http://mashable.com/2015/11/07/r-100-airship/
