The server that hosts Runaway Slaves in Britain has been corrupted by malware, and so it has been taken offline by the University of Glasgow. We hope the website will be up and running very soon. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I am really sorry. We've been notified that malware has infected a university server (the one hosting our website) and so that server has been taken down while they address the problem. Hopefully it will be back up soon!

@RunawaySlavesGB @SimonatMadison hello! My students are looking at your brilliant database later this week, but it seems down at the moment? It was working last week. You might have had a thousand notifications about it already, but just in case you hadn't.

This has been a fascinating insight into the processes of memorialisation - a recording will be available soon if you have been unable to attend.

Please join us next time, on 23 November with @SimonatMadison:
