Join us in the Library on Saturday 11th September, 4:30 - 5:30pm, to hear about a community project that is exploring Lancaster's historical link to transatlantic slavery. This event is part of our Library Festival.

The Slavery Family Trees Community Research Project: Exploring Lancaster’s link to Transatlantic Slavery

Members of the Lancaster Black History community group will talk about the Slavery Family Trees project, sharing how schools, university students, voluntary organisations, community and faith groups from across the city have come together to produce and record community stories and learning that will allow local people to work together to face the past, and in doing so transform the future.

This is a hybrid event with in person and online participants. You are registering to attend the event in person at Lancaster University Library.  Further guidance for joining the event will be emailed to you two days prior to the event.
