The Young Historians Project (YHP) are currently working to uncover a new aspect of Black British History that our young people identified as having been left out of current historical narratives: the history of continental African women in the British health service from 1930-2000.

As current narratives on black women in the British health service tend to focus on 'Windrush generation' Caribbean contributions, this project will cover new ground and expand the understanding of this history. We look forward to not only exploring African women’s contributions within the health sector’s workforce, but also their wider experiences and activities in British society.         

The YHP is a non-profit organisation formed by young people encouraging the development of young historians of African and Caribbean heritage in Britain. The YHP is a team of young people aged 16-25 working on dynamic projects, documenting pivotal and often overlooked historical moments.                 

Please note that this session will NOT be live-streamed and recorded.

Please note that the main entrance of our Keppel Street building will close from Saturday 5 October until Monday 28 October for essential repairs. Alternative access will be provided on Malet Street, including an accessible route for visitors with a disability and wheelchair users. There will be signage to guide you to these entrances.
