Exhibition: Travellers and Settlers: A History of Ethnic Diversity, Migration and Settlement in the East Riding of Yorkshire
This exhibition highlights a selection of stories found within documents in the East Riding Archives and artefacts from the East Riding Museums’ collections, evidencing that East Yorkshire has always been a place of diversity.
From the Mesolithic to the Modern Day, we present stories of sanctuary seekers, workers, 'aliens', evacuees, freed slaves, interesting visitors, and more. In addition to celebrating the region’s diverse heritage, to highlighting the stories of today, the exhibition also shares contemporary oral histories and school pupils’ creations about their life and culture.
