This resource invites learners to approach the history of Welsh industrialisation from a different perspective. The city of Hughesovka, today’s Donetsk in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine (former Russian Empire), was founded by Welsh and British workers. Using Hughesovka as a case study, the resource aims to enable learners to develop a more nuanced and critical perspective on the history of industrialisation in their country and to critically engage with archival material.Authors: Clara Defachel and Dr Victoria Donovan, University of St Andrews, Scotland. People’s Collection Wales.The source material (photographs and other images) within this resource comes from the Hughesovka Research Archive, held at the Glamorgan Archives, and these are reproduced here with their kind permission.

Fleeing across Europe to escape the Nazis, about 10,000 Jewish children arrived in Britain between December 1938 and September 1939 on the Kindertransport (children’s transport). The British government only admitted unaccompanied minors through this scheme, even though most of them had lived with their parents and other members of their families before their flight. In this collection of resources, we explore some of the stories of child refugees who came on the Kindertransport to Wales.Image above: Dorothy Fleming, aged four, standing in Rathauspark in Vienna. The photograph was taken in 1932. © From the collection at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum, UK. Kindertransport 1: Jewish life in Central Europe before the Second World War.

Preserving and sharing your historical documentsThe Jewish History Association of South Wales / Cymdeithas Hanes Iddewig De Cymru (JHASW / CHIDC) was established in November 2017 with the aim to uncover, document, preserve and share the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the Jewish communities of south Wales.These documents form part of a Heritage Toolkit which will enable small communities and organisations to take the first steps towards preserving and sharing their heritage, even if they have no experience in this field.Glamorgan Archives has been a long-term partner for many JHASW/CHIDC projects and contributed these documents as part of a joint project (together with People’s Collection Wales) for the Welsh Government funded Coronavirus Recovery Grant For Volunteering 2020/21.

This project is a celebration of culture and heritage curated through the lens of young people, particularly people from the ethnic minority, as a tool to promote diversity and community cohesion.The project was led by young people, who came from a diverse range of backgrounds to learn and explore their cultural similarities and differences, with the aim of understanding and educating themselves while developing a lasting sense of a wider community. The enthusiasm sparked by our Windrush heritage and the Black Lives Matter movement has deeply impacted many young individuals. They are keen to share their stories, raise awareness, and eagerly seek to educate school children and families about their heritage and Black Welsh History. Central to our approach was the idea of empowerment through agency. Recognising that each participant brings a unique perspective to the table, we empowered them to take the reins of the interview process. Rather than being subjected to external scrutiny, participants were given the opportunity to interview each other, an idea that emerged organically from within the group, fostering a sense of ownership over the storytelling process. In this collaborative setting, barriers were broken down.

History is all around us. We only have to ask our own families and communities. They can tell us enough stories to fill a library of books. This kind of history is called ORAL HISTORY.Documents and books often concentrate on famous people and big events. But many people’s experiences and voices have been hidden from history. Oral history fills in the gaps and gives us history which includes everyone.With digital technology, anyone can preserve oral histories and share them with others. It is a wonderful way of developing digital and interviewing skills while learning about history. It can build the confidence of young people and respect between generations.This guide has been created in partnership by the Oral History Society and People’s Collection Wales. It offers helpful advice on getting started with an oral history project in your school or community.

The Windrush Intergenerational Project was developed by the African Community Centre (ACC), working with young people in local schools, to research the lives of the Windrush generation who arrived in Wales from the West Indies between the 1940s and 1970s.The project sought to bridge the gap between older and younger generations, especially with regards to passing down culture, tradition, journeys, settlement and other experiences. It records and documents the amazing contributions that Black and Ethnic Minority migrants have brought to the UK, and to Swansea/Neath Port Talbot in particular.In total, the project celebrates the lives of ten elders, a combination of members of the Windrush generation and other persons whose contributions have made South Wales a multicultural society.The case study text is bilingual however the video interviews and booklet are available in English only.
