Transatlantic Slavery & The Southside ~ Mon 9th Aug 6-7pm @ Rum Shack...how were plantation merchants & enslaved people involved in shaping South Glasgow's heritage? Talk given as part of Govanhill International Festival.

We’ll be doing a heritage walk around Queen’s Park on 8th March which will take one some of the elements of our new book (https://sghet.com/product/south-glasgow-heritage-trails-a-guide/). We’ll be meeting outside Langside Halls and will be giving a free guided walk around Queen’s Park.

On 22nd September, we will be setting up at TS Queen Mary as part of Doors Open Days Festival. We'll be bringing along some of our archive material and the Southside memories postbox.

On 21st and 22nd September, we will be setting up at Langside Halls as part of Doors Open Days Festival. We'll be bringing along our archive material and the Southside memories postbox. People will be able to come in and find all about South Glasgow's heritage and look through postcards, pictures and books. We'll also be running talks across the weekend to share some of the most interesting facts we have found out when researching our upcoming tour book. We'll be in meeting room 2 all weekend so come and say hello.

We'd like to consult local women and ethnic minority groups (no matter how long you've been here or how recently you've joined the community), to see what the Southside means to you, and what an accessible and representative archive on local heritage might look like. So come along for a chat and a cup of tea! If you are happy to bring an object, photo, or any material that makes you think of local memories, please bring it along and share your thoughts, local knowledge, and memories with us!
