Dear Sara,
I will post your request to the Society for Caribbean Studies (UK)
listserv. The SCS has a large membership (c 300), with many members based
in the UK. To visit their website:
http://www.scsonline.freeserve.co.uk/carib.htm. There are a number of other
listservs you may want to target, but I will post them to you off-list.
For information, the project Sara is referring to is the Moving Here
Project. Information about the project was posted to members a few months
ago when another member of the MH project joined the list (see below).
There is also a project underway at the PRO for Black History Month
entitled BEFORE THE WINDRUSH, an online exhibition on sources for black and
Asian history in Britain, as well as the newly established PRO Advisory
Group (flagged up a few weeks back) - a group keen to make links with
Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups and researchers. So members based
at the PRO, please keep us posted!

What is Moving Here ?
The vision of Moving Here is to celebrate and explore why people came to
England and record what their experiences are and continue to be. Moving
Here will be available from the end of 2002. Until the end of 2002, this
website will give information about the Moving Here project, including
regular updates on progress. Moving here will focus on the experiences of
people from the Caribbean, South Asian, Irish and Jewish (from Eastern
Europe) communities, from the 1840s to the present day.
From the end of 2002 this website will give free online access to a wide
range of material contributed by our partners. These are thirty Museums,
Archives and Libraries across England. The online resources will range from
art objects and photographs to maps and government documents. We will also
provide information about how you can use these resources for your own
research or to find out more about the communities we cover.
