SUMMARY:Exhibition: Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge is the first exhibition of its kind\, shining a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the UK. \nThis co-curated exhibition was created in partnership with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi and the African Caribbean Research Group. \nFeaturing for the first time a series of oral histories from local Caribbean Elders in Cambridge\, the oral histories capture special moments of family history\, experiences and invaluable community stories. Stories collected in partnership with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi share the fantastic legacy of the Windrush generation through music\, food\, religion\, the arts and community. From pub landlords\, local newsagent owners and steelpan bands\, the exhibition celebrates the people at the heart of Cambridge’s community. \nThis project was only made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This project brought together an intergenerational team of volunteers to tell the story of the local community. A group of young “Windrush Curators” worked alongside elders\, family members and local community members to research\, uncover and share the untold histories of Cambridge’s Caribbean past. \nDisplaying a range of personal items on loan from community members\, the exhibit features photographs\, textiles\, steel pans\, local cricket history and 6 new oral histories for visitors to explore. \nFind out more about the exhibition here. \nAccessibility \nYou can read about our accessibility information on our website here Accessibility – The Museum of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Talk: Secrets Never to be Told: From Cambridge to Canada\, the Surplus Woman's Tale
DESCRIPTION:Discover the real story of a ‘surplus woman’ and her story of emigration from Victorian Cambridge to British Columbia.\n\n\nA surprise inheritance from an unknown Canadian led to Fiona Chesterton’s extraordinary investigation into her distant cousin\, Jessie Heading. Born illegitimately to a farmer’s daughter in 1877\, Jessie was adopted by a childless housekeeper. For thirty five years she lived a quiet life in domestic service in late Victorian and Edwardian Cambridge until emigrating to British Columbia in 1912. She was one of thousands of young women deemed surplus to British society who enrolled on emigration schemes to distant parts of the Empire. She lived fifty eight years in her new country\, mainly in a small cabin in a rural township. \nFiona will describe how she went about her research\, using photographs and memorabilia as well as archives in Cambridge\, London and Vancouver. Along the way\, she will give some tips for those interested in exploring their own family history. \nAbout the speaker:\nFiona Chesterton had a long career in Television journalism\, production and commissioning working mainly for the BBC and Channel Four. In the past few years\, she has pursued her interest in family history and non-fiction writing. \nShe published her first book Secrets Never To Be Told late in 2021. She was interviewed about the book by BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour programme and several local radio stations. \nShe has lived in Cambridge for nearly ten years and is a member of the Cambridgeshire Family History Society\, the Mill Road History Society and the Society of Authors. She is also a Fellow of the Royal Television Society. \nShe is now working on her second book\, a memoir of her early career at the BBC\, which is due to be published later in 2025. \nYou can find out more about Fiona here: www.fionachesterton.com \n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Talk: Mapping Relief: The Files of the Cambridge Charity Organisation Society
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge Charity Organisation Society (CCOS) formed in 1879 as a successor of the Cambridge Mendicity Society founded in 1818/1819.

This talk will provide an insight into the personal lives of those who applied as well as brief introduction to the research undertaken to unlock this collection. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nLaura Housden is currently Archive Officer at Tyne and Wear Archives but was Archives Assistant at Cambridgeshire Archives for nearly 5 years before that. She has a particularly keen interest in social history and researching into the lives of those often missing from the more official narratives. \nYou can find her further research on Mapping Relief on Capturing Cambridge: The Cambridge Charity Organisation Society | Capturing Cambridge \n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge. We kindly suggest a donation of £8\, which includes the talk and entry to the Museum of Cambridge (usually £7 for Standard\, £6 for Concession).
