Home Children Immigration and Their Lives – David Hemmings
This webinar with slides will be similar to the presentation already on the NOTL Museum website which discusses the contributions of Ms Maria Rye and the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society between 1868 and 1914, during which time 5,300 children (mostly girls) were brought to Canada. The slides will also include information on the National Children’s Home in Hamilton, through which 3,200 more children (mostly boys) were brought to Canada. The slides will include placement demographics for most of the children, and the full lives of 1,400 girls. Note: This body of work took the author over 4 years to complete.
This webinar is open to Society members for free, non-members can attend the live webinar and access the recording for 2 weeks afterward for the nominal fee of $10.
