We are now pleased to announce that a new project, Birmingham Stories, will continue the work of Connecting
Histories with a new project intended to bring
together more stories from the city’s past and present.
Birmingham Stories is a new partnership project led by the School
of Education at Birmingham University working with
Birmingham Libraries and Archives and funded by the
Arts and Humanities Research Council. It starts in
August 2007 and will run for two years. Dr Andy Green, the
Research & Learning Officer with Connecting Histories,
will be working with another colleague (to be appointed
in August) and Professor Ian Grosvenor from the University
to arrange a series of talks and workshops in community
libraries. The sessions will be aimed at those who would
like to know more about the history of Birmingham and
its many communities. The workshops will also make
available a number of useful resource guides that will
provide information as well as practical advice. These
will also appear online on the Connecting Histories website. To find out more click on the link.
