Researching the Disadvantaged
|
Experts in their fields, our nine speakers will shed light on the dark times experienced by many of our British ancestors as they struggled with little or no income, inferior housing, poor standards of health care and other inadequacies in their daily lives, particularly in increasingly industrialized Victorian and Edwardian England and Wales.
For those in need, was there a relief system for them to navigate? In the absence of what we understand today as a societal “safety net,” how did they cope? How much was known publicly and reported on? What was the official view? Were records kept and by whom? How did authorities enforce law and order in the face of social and economic disruption?
So many questions and so many answers for you to find in the conference sessions!
