Welcome to Signpost. This week you can watch possibly the greatest film of all time, Citizen Kane, or browse a photographic record of lockdown from photographers, artists and the public. Plus much more!

We are back again with a new issue of Signpost to share our favourite finds from across the internet.

CONNECT

We have been sharing articles that explain social media and help you use it. After some feedback, this week we have an article that will tell you what Facebook is and explains some of the jargon around it. You can read it here.

LEARN

We are all experiencing the pandemic in different ways and Historic England asked the public, contemporary artists and professional photographers to document their experiences during the Covid-19 lockdown. You can read more about the project and browse the 204 images here.

BBC Sounds has an interesting audio documentary entitled “Sid James: not just a dirty laugh”. It is presented by Lee Mack and showcases a range of sketches, recordings and performances from Sid James that shows him as much more than just the star of the Carry On films. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/p...
