SUMMARY:"The Lost Children" exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Between 1873 and 1948\, around 6000 destitute children were sent from the Birmingham Childrens Emigration Homes\, often referred to as Middlemore Homes\, to live with farmers in the wilds of Canada. In preparation for the epic journey\, the children spent up to a year at the Homes\, where they were provided with a basic eduction and taught skills that would make them useful workers. This gave them the opportunity to prosper\, saving them from a life of grime\, crime and poverty. But the future lives of the children varied enormously with tales of happiness and success\, as well as tales of great sadness. \nThis exhibition\, at the Birmingham & Midland Institute\, tells the stories of some of these children. There will be talks by experts from Canada\, and dramatic performances. \nMidland Ancestors is assisting Balsall Heath History Society with this event.

SUMMARY:Wolverhampton: The Bicycle Industry of Wolverhampton

SUMMARY:Stourbridge: Identifying Old Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Old Photographs and their identification and dating\nA presentation by Tom Doig. Tom will not consider the technical processes used in production of photographs but rather use the clues offered by the mounts\, the dimensions and the materials to uncover the essential facts. Similarly costumes will not be examined as a dating factor as grandma\, just as today didn’t always wear the latest fashion. Remember Grt Grandma always wore the same black bombazine after the death of her husband. \n  \nMembers are encouraged to bring photographs from their collections for identification\, Tom will use them as examples. \nDownload a poster here

SUMMARY:Birmingham: Oral History at The Hive
DESCRIPTION:Oral History at The Hive\nThe Hive is jointly home to Worcester Records Office and The University of Worcester. \nMaggie Tohill our speaker is an archivist with the Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service and is one of the Oral History Society’s regional networkers for the West Midlands area. Maggie will look at how family historians might use oral history recordings to provide a wider social context for the life and times of their ancestors\, for example using recordings which cover events they have lived through\, trades/occupations they have followed and places they have lived. \nMaggie will deal with the pluses and minuses of using oral history in this way and suggest where members might look for suitable existing collections both locally and nationally.
