I hope like me you enjoyed some of the presentations made this weekend as part of the History for Ukraine fundraiser.
If you’re quick you may still have the opportunity to view them in replay on YouTube. They are divided into four parts, see the list below. You’ll have to judge where within you’ll find the presentation of interest. They are mostly in the order given although it was occasionally disrupted. The ones I’ve watched and enjoyed are highlighted — that’s no slight on the others, just my choice at the times available to me.

I heard about this from Patricia only yesterday after she had seen it. I have located it but not watched it yet. I am dying to hear the section by Sarah Wise. Her book, The Blackest Streets, helped me locate my ancestors some years back on a long London stay! !!! Cheers, BT
Susannah Lipscomb has an excellent talk in Part II about addressing the “silences” in archives regarding the powerless and the oppressed (women, black, the poor). And living with the discomfort, and disappointment, of never having an answer to the questions raised about what tidbits you find.
In Part I towards the end, Vadim Aristov, a Ukrainian historian, gave an excellent history of the long relationship between Russia & Ukraine. We all should know his understanding about the myths used by Putin/Russia. Highly recommended
