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.
