This is a vast website which sets out to explore why people came to England over the last 200 years.
Via personal stories, images and histories the website catalogues Caribbean, Irish, Jewish and South Asian migration to Britain with reference to reasons for moving, experiences on arrival and a time-line of key events.
This comprehensive website offers free access, for personal and educational use, to an online catalogue of versions of original material related to migration history from local, regional and national archives, libraries and museums.
The site gives an insight into the impact of the cultural attributes of migrant communities on a range of aspects of life in Britain as well as describing the experience of being an immigrant at a personal level.
There are numerous links and resources to download as well as a section designed for teachers.
