Just 5 days to go to our Family History & DNA Showcase at Manchester Central Library 12pm-5pm @librarylivemcr
Featuring @HeardOfCats@Gypsyville2@jcarmensmith and David Edwards Hulme: https://t.co/Sy3JTYSlE2
@Gypsyville2 founder Amanda Reed welcomes visitors to the Brotherton Library exhibition Rights and Romance - documenting Gypsy Lives speaking about the importance of Gypsy voices in interpreting Gypsy archives.
Nick Barratt @familyhistorysh encouraging us all to engage in personal archiving and Amanda Reed @Gypsyville2 reminding us all to respect the needs of communities when we produce our histories #historianscollaborate https://t.co/0Kw55B6HEa
Final session of @DrLauraKing's workshop on collaborating with family historians - focussed on what is the potential for collaborations? Hearing first from @Gypsyville2 and her work constructing a community of gypsy and traveller family historians via FB #historianscollaborate
Hearing about how Amanda Reed @Gypsyville2 learned about history from her parents but became aware from a young age about the absence of the history of her community in museums and archives. Her Facebook group has 4000 members #historianscollaborate https://t.co/0Kw55B6HEa
And I've just been able to confirm another panelist for our roundtable - Amanda Reed, a family historian who has created the Gyspyville heritage group for Gypsy and Travellers. Very excited for this! #twitterstorians#familyhistory@HistoryWO@LeedsGATE https://t.co/ylbcaHRtOd
The #RightsandRomance exhibition uses community insight from members of @LeedsGATE to challenge stereotypes. Learn about Gypsy and Traveller lives in the past, the struggle for rights, and the community’s responses to being represented by non-Travellers. #differenceMW#MuseumWeek
A wonderful blog post from Amanda Reed, on remembering her family. Amanda's an English Gypsy, and some of her objects are featured in our exhibition on #Remembrance at Abbey House Museum https://t.co/7OTLiNCSPS
