'On their own' aimed to bring the children's experiences to life with photographs, written and audio memories and other memorabilia such as suitcases and ships' menus. These were put into an historical context, with information about the policies, people and events that influenced child migration practices.
An online web resource includes photographs, oral histories, and links to other sources.
We do not currently have any resources linked to this entry, but resources may exist. If you know of any related resources, please contact us.
The Find & Connect Support Service can help people who lived in orphanages and children's institutions look for their records.
