Moving Here website
Moving Here is a website which explores the experiences and culture of some of the different communities who have come to live in England over the last 200 years.
The site looks mainly at the Caribbean, Irish, Jewish and South Asian communities, and includes personal histories as well as archival and pictorial material. 30 institutions across England contributed documents and images to the site, including the V&A which contributed 1,800 images, mostly illustrating South Asian art and culture.
The web site offers free access, for personal and educational use, to online versions of original material related to migration, including photographs, personal papers, government documents, maps and art objects, as well as a collection of sound recordings and video clips.
