From St Mellitus to the Last Post: putting D/deaf history on the map
Between May and November 2024, I am working with the Essex Record Office to explore Southend's D/deaf history.
If you're interested in joining us we are hosting a series of free workshops at the Forum Library, starting on Saturday 25th May.
Anyone with lived experience of the D/deaf community in Southend and the local area is welcome!
The workshops will be held from 2.00pm to 4.30pm on:
· Saturday 25th May
· Saturday 29th June
· Saturday 27th July
They will be at the Forum Library, Elmer Avenue, SS1 1NS. The building has step-free access and an induction loop.
The workshops will be BSL interpreted. The interpreters for the first workshop are Jane Simia and Frances Everingham.
The workshops are free, but please book in advance on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southends-ddeaf-history-workshop-tickets-888261282407
The project is funded by an Engagement Grant from The National Archives. Find out more about the funded projects here.
You can also still see my online work exploring an incident in Essex Deaf History "A Kind of Vanishing". ERO were instrumental in supporting the research process.
