In search of the English
The Locating the Hidden Diaspora Project explored the history of English migration, ethnicity and associational culture across the wider British World. Its work focused on the ways English identity was expressed, remembered and organised by communities overseas.
The project brought together historians at Northumbria University, the University of Ulster and partner institutions to examine English societies, national celebrations, benevolence, cultural events and networks in North America and beyond.
