Identity and the City: A History of Ethnic Minorities in Bristol 1000-2001
England’s Past for Everyone is a Heritage Lottery funded project involving communities across the country.
Authors and researchers are working alongside volunteers to bring local history to life, producing a series of paperback books, an interactive website and materials for schools.
History isn’t just about the dim and distant past, it’s happening right now. This is your chance to get involved in the life story of your community.
Bristol has always been ethnically diverse but this aspect of its history has never before been systematically traced over such a long period. Research in Bristol will chart 1001 years of the presence and experience of ethnic minorities in the city. How were they received, how did they survive and how did they affect the city’s sense of its own identity?
The research available on the Bristol site includes featured items from our book, Bristol: ethnic minorities and the city 1000-2001 and the Bristol Slavery Trail .
