- Important stories
The episodes in this series are unfailingly interesting, with detailed and thorough explanation and exploration of stories of emigration from Britain. They help to fill in the often blank ‘other side’ of the story of migration to Britain and the connectednesses of the world back to the seventeenth century.

United Kingdom3 years ago - Entertaining, illuminating and sometimes shocking.
A professionally produced set of programmes on British migration through the 17th century onwards. Focussing on North America and SE Asia, the facts and figures are often mind boggling.
Easy to absorb but so full of information I’ve had to listen to each programme at least twice just to take it all in.
I’ve been very happy to make a donation to The Migration Museum as they’ve been responsible for filling in a hugely important subject that was not taught at my British school.
Thank you!
