LBS workshop at the National Archives
26th March 2013, 2.00pm-3.00pm, National Archives, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU
Nick Draper and Keith McClelland ran a workshop about the LBS database at the National Archives on 26th March at 2pm. With the large audience we presented and discussed this website and showed how it might be used by local and family historians and others.
If you are interested in the importance of slave-ownership for your region, area, town or village in Britain; or if your family had connections with the Caribbean; or if you are descended from enslaved people; this database is potentially important to you.
