Speaker: Joint Participants Presentation
This talk with contributions from LHS members will share individual stories of historic migration to and from the NW.
This joint presentation arises from a Heritage Lottery Funded project entitled ‘Migration Stories NW’ which several of our members have participated in as community research volunteers. The project will document 100 stories of migration to the NW. There will be an introduction from Karen Wynne, Project Lead from The Liverpool World Centre explaining how the outcomes will be used. This will be followed by presentations of individual case studies.
Some of the many stories uncovered include a Viking settler, a French priest who flees revolution to start one of the most prominent churches in catholic Liverpool, an Italian who becomes Registrar of Liverpool University and a Liverpool child sent to Canada as part of the child migrant programme.
