Victorian Workhouses Online Workshop
For Family and Social Historians
Discover what life was like in a Victorian workhouse with eminent Berkshire historian Joan Dils. What was expected of inmates and what was their diet? What were the rules governing the workhouse? What records were kept? Where can you now find those records? And, what can they tell researchers? Delve into the life of those unfortunate enough to fall on hard times, fall ill or injured, or simply just getting old.
Pre-booking is required because places are limited. Bookings close one day before the event.
This is an online workshop using Zoom technology.
11am - 1pm
