Exhibition reaches Lancaster

Our touring exhibition spent the month of August on display in the Maritime Museum in Lancaster where it enjoyed many visitors through the school holidays. On the day the exhibition opened Alison, the project lead at Global Link, gave a talk about the Lancaster migration stories to the Friends of Lancaster City Museum.

There was also a get-together at the Museum for the Lancaster project adult volunteers, where we were able to get a first look at the then newly installed exhibition and reflect on and celebrate our achievements throughout the project. We were delighted that our project historian, Prof Corinna Peniston-Bird from Lancaster University, and Global Link’s Director, Gisela Renolds, could join us for this. The launch of the exhibition in Lancaster was also accompanied by a feature about the project in the local newspaper, the Lancaster Guardian.

The exhibition has now moved on to Liverpool where it will be on display throughout September in the foyer of the Maritime Museum on Albert Dock. Details here.
