COMMENTS ON THIS DOCUMENT:

This website hosts a wealth of information about the contribution to the UK made by different ethnic groups and includes links to many related topics. The articles are detailed and have a personal touch and as such should be accessible to most students of secondary school age. The archive includes pre- 20th century articles and so the list of contents given is not comprehensive.
