Hello everyone! I had to find an article from the Newsletter to scan for a colleague and realised, yet again, what a very useful publication it was. A real tragedy that it no longer exists – after all, it carried notes re events, re published articles and books, articles by researchers from all over the UK and a bio of a ‘historic figure’ in each edition. You certainly didn’t have to be an academic to have your article published! [I was the editor from #1, Sept. 1991 until #46, December 2006; the Newsletter ceased being published in 2012.] Let me give you a couple of examples: Issue 32, Jan. 2002 Local records: payments by the Duke of Somerset to ‘Mustapha, 11s 6d (30/12/1723) and 18s 10d, 17/4/1732 ‘Making shirts for Mushapha’…. Historic Figure: Constance Cummings-John (1918-2000) Issue 33, April 2002: article by John Evans, ’Nathaniel Wells of Monmouthshire and St.Kitts: from slave to sheriff’…. Parish records: Salisbury Cathedral burials register: Matthias the Morian, 22 February 1601/2….. Issue #34 Sept.2002: article by Tanya Schmoller, ‘A Bit of Sheffield History’… Updates: some additional info re the article ‘Coloured Medical Men’ in #32…. A wonderfully wide-ranging publication. We need it reinstated. I have given all remaining copies to the Black Cultural Archives. I don’t know how much BCA is selling them for. The price in 2002 was £1.50. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Email list is maintained by the BSA Race & Ethnicity Study Group.
