This five-part online series aims to raise awareness around some of the issues, challenges and ethics surrounding the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Migrated archives; centre the perspectives of Archivists from affected countries; and promote and provide opportunities to be involved in reparative action.  

We’ll hear from eminent experts in the field and Archivists from around the world, working together to spur action on this important and long-neglected issue. 
 
In the first seminar on Oct 19th we will introduce, contextualise and examine the issues, challenges and ethics surrounding the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Migrated archives.

The Migrated Archives Working Group

The Migrated Archives Working Group was established in March 2022 by Dr Anna Sexton (UCL, UK), Dr James Lowry (Queens College, City University of New York, USA) and Dr Mandy Banton (School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK). 

The Migrated Archives Working Group brings together a group of students from UCL's MA in Archives & Records Management's 2021/2022 cohort committed to working on raising awareness on issues connected to the displacement of archives resulting from Britain's former colonial entanglements.
