British Library website to chart Black and Asian history

Always helpful with stories from the other side of the world, Charles Davis writes \”The British Library is to build a website charting 465 years of Black and Asian history in London.

The plan is to establish a website culling records from a
number of different sources, including the British Library
and India office.

Co-ordinators at the London Metropolitan Archives plan to
have the database up-and-running in time for Black History
month in October next year.
\”This project is one of the most ambitious of its kind as it
covers sources for several centuries of London history from
1536 onwards,\” said LMA head archivist Deborah Jenkins.
The project will be funded by £30,000 from the British
Library and Re:source, the Council for Museums, Archives
and Libraries.
