Do you have a family story connected to the British Empire? Or are you simply interested in learning more? Here’s a chance to put your own experiences, and those of relatives and friends, into historical context. Led by Dr Catherine Fletcher of Swansea University, whose grandparents worked as missionaries in India (1940s-1960s), it will explore the range of archive resources available on these complex family histories. This is an interactive session and you are encouraged to bring along letters, photographs and objects connected to the workshop theme.
Age 11+ (under-16s accompanied by an adult).
Event Partner: Swansea Libraries, City and County of Swansea
