SUMMARY:London: “By the sweat of their brows”
DESCRIPTION:“By the sweat of their brows” \nA talk by Sharon Hintze. \nSharon will be talking about industrial workers and their like in our area of interest in past times. \nMeetings will be held at the LDS Hyde Park Family Search Centre\, 64-68 Princes Gate\, Exhibition Road\, South Kensington\, SW7 2PA. Doors open 10.30; talks start 11.00. \nWe will have the research facility largely to ourselves for the day of our meetings so will not be restricted on time. We will be able to take coffee and tea into our meetings as well as sandwiches. \nIf you download and install a Chrome extension on your laptop (which uses the building Wi-Fi)\, you can search records\, use commercial websites for free and download images directly to your laptop after our meeting. In effect\, with the Chrome extension\, your laptop has the same premium access as the PCs in the FamilySearch Centre. This access only works\, of course\, if you are within the building on Exhibition Road since it is dependent on the building Wi-Fi address. Ask a member of staff about this if you are interested. \nUnderground stations: South Kensington (District and Circle Lines). \nBuses: 14\, 49\, 70\, 74\, 345\, 360\, 414\, 430\, C1

SUMMARY:Birmingham: Weeping Angels
DESCRIPTION:Weeping Angels – interpreting the symbolism of the Victorian cemetery\nSpeaker – David Moore\nSymbols are a language that can help us understand our past. As the saying goes\, “a picture paints a thousand words”: but which words? Understanding our past determines actively\, our ability to understand the present. David will take a journey back in time to look at the Victorian symbolism to be found in cemeteries and try to understand what messages the living were being left\, to tell the story of their dead loved ones. \n

SUMMARY:Stourbridge Group - AGM and "Women in the Glass Industry"
DESCRIPTION:Talk – “Women in the Glass Industry”\nStourbridge Glass Museum is custodian of many thousands of pieces of glassware reflecting the skills and artistry of glassblowers\, designers\, and decorators from the Stourbridge area for over 400years. It reflects the industrial efforts from such world-renowned makers as Richardson’s\, Stuart Crystal\, Royal Brierley Crystal and Webb Corbett’s. Yet how many pieces in the collection have been produced solely by women? \nWithin those hot working factory conditions\, it was said that the only limitation to the glass-blower’s art is ‘the strength in his arm’ and the hot shops were considered at be an all-male environment\, women were not allowed. Archive sources and ladies who worked in the glass industry have helped me uncover a fascinating account of this ‘glass ceiling’.  From the 1860’s to the present day. This is a revealing account of changing attitudes and the struggles between Unions\, Management and workers to allow women to do ‘men’s work’. \nEdith Shutt\, Acid-dipping at Stuart Crystal\, Red House Glass Cone\nSpeaker: Dr. Kate Round\nKate is an outreach presenter and tour guide for Dudley Museum Service. \nDr Kate Round\nIn the glass industry\, her interests include the historical development of the industry in the Stourbridge district\, how the geology and geography impacted on the wealth and sociology of the area\, driven by the rivalries of our Glass Dynasties.In her my previous life\,Kate was a research chemist and lecturer\, so understand the chemistry of glass having worked on the synthesis of ‘zeolites’ (silica based materials) with my work published in International Journals. \n
