We've recorded a walk through of how to use Coram's Foundling Hospital Archive. Let us know what you find! 🔍 ICYMI 👇 100,000 pages of records from Coram’s Foundling Hospital Archive have been made available online. Records from the Foundling Hospital, England’s first home for babies who were unable to be cared for by their parents, are now available online for the first time. The digital archive, launched by the UK’s first children’s charity Coram, which was established as the Foundling Hospital in London in 1739, brings to life the previously untold stories of over 20,000 children who grew up at the Hospital and of their birth mothers. The archive launch is the culmination of our five-year programme, Voices Through Time: The Story of Care, made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund . We've digitised 405 volumes in the archive, almost a quarter of the entire collection, spanning 1739 to 1899. Nearly 6,500 volunteers from around the world helped transcribe the digital pages to enable detailed searching of their contents 🫶 The digital images and their transcripts are free to access online. In addition to the records about the children, the digital archive contains intimate and moving petition letters from mothers seeking the admission of their children into the Foundling Hospital, and books containing tokens left as a symbol of the connection between mother and child. The digital archive provides a rich historical resource for research into the lives of working-class women across England, and the history of education, childcare, employment, medicine, disability, textiles, and more. Family historians will find details of children, parents, Hospital staff, and apprenticeship masters and mistresses.

Adoption is today - and always will be - for the few and not the many, and this important report sets out considered recommendations to help ensure that best practice is the only practice, and reflecting the evolution of support needs, particularly understanding identity, for children as they grow and develop. We support the call for better collaboration between children's services and the judicial system, for delivering the resources needed and ensuring professionals are supported to achieve this. Adoption has a vital part to play in securing the best possible outcomes for some of the most vulnerable children in society - children for whom adoption placement orders have been granted have had the toughest start in life. We must use this report to ensure that decisions are always made with within the child’s timescale, with their best interests as the over-riding priority for all the adults involved. CoramBAAF will publish chapter summaries and analysis for the report in the coming days. https://lnkd.in/eqf8F3eP #adoption #socialwork #PLWG #Law #legal #wearecoram
