Join this workshop and hear a selection of clips that reflect on people’s personal migration stories.

The British Library holds many hundreds of hours of oral history recordings, particularly life story recordings that feature many aspects of migration stories.

Join this event and hear a selection of clips that reflect on people’s personal stories which have been used to make connections to the British Library, its history and physical spaces.

There will also be a chance to consider how these sound archives can be used as part of researching and interrogating themes of home, migration and settlement. There will also be a practical session on searching and using the catalogues, and examples of how they have featured as part of a series of new digital resources.

This event is part of Migration: a public history festival, a series of lectures, exhibitions, workshops and walks around London, supported by the Raphael Samuel History Centre.
