Black History Month archive open day

Saturday 21 October

Delve into PHM’s incredible archive collection to celebrate Black History Month 2023.

 

The museum’s archive focuses on labour history, and the related movements, campaigns, and organisations that form part of that history – of which Black people have been an integral part.

Talk to our expert Archive Team about how the collection continues to grow today and how it is used by communities, researchers, and individuals to explore the social and political stories of the past.
